ok made my mind up, played the three offers against each other, got a 40% rise from the advertised rate, so it looks like I'm going to be back in Banking for a while!!!!
and I have to say, all the agents were very good, no bad reports for any of them.....

I also found some real abandoned places. Spooky.

Some of the guys on here have had massive gaps and still found a contract. This is going back several months, maybe years, but I seem to recall ZG posting something about beeing out of contract for months and months.
ZG - am I right??

Originally posted by mictechThank SA, I know somethink will come along.
Hate having to deal with the agent and time wasting, but if you want the money, you have to put up with the sh!t.
I'm not one to sitting around the house, even for a week or two.

Trying to get a company to put me through clearance waiting on call back on interview. since it was yesterday I am assuming didn't get it
This is the down side to what we do (which is why we are NOT employees!!!! ) - the uncertainty, the "am I ever going to find another gig" panic....you will though. Just keep looking.
