    The purpose of contracting

    Originally posted by MaryPoppins View Post
    Got an interview in BHam on Thursday, am nervous! Never been nervous for an interview before, but I am worried that having a baby and being away from work for a couple of months will have made my brain mush.

    Am also aware that they might ask why there is a recent gap on my CV, and I wonder if when a new baby is mentioned they might bin me. Bleugh.
    The whole purpose of contracting is to work when and where you like.
    You have a gap because you got lost in the amazon or kidnapped.
    Actually your new child kidnapped you.. so what.
    I guess the interviewers mom had no gap on her CV when he was born.

    Better than being a brain-dead drongo like you, stupid arse.
    It was a perfectly valid point of view that we put forward - as we didn't know that the father had run away then.

    Don't have much choice unfortunately, but it is not a decision I have taken lightly. I am on my own with the baby, and am not getting any support from his father (who, as the other Director in the Ltd Co, has taken £18k of the CT money and disappeared).'


    Name and shame!


    Best of luck for the future :-)
