No. You'll be too busy trying to meet your personal development targets in time for your next appraisal.

And don't forget to complete the TPS report - did you get the memo?

I'm not selling out! I just need to ride this recession wave and see where it takes me. I'm not too sure I want the role, but I've only worked 12 weeks this year and need to keep monies coming in, if I don't get it I will be worried but I won't be bothered, there's always the next contract (wherever that is)

Anyone else having this problem? would you go perm for a role that is 10 mins away !

Having worked 12 weeks less than you this year, I'd go for the permi role if I thought that the employer would give the job to me, but I know that he wont. I'll be up against another 50 CVs from equally qualified guys who don't have the baggage of being a contracotor.

I even lost a possible contract role last week because the guy had receiced so many good perm CVs that he decided that he didn't need to consider contractors at all, even for a "start tomorrow" role.

Well done.

FWIW I have done exactly the same as you, for exactly the same reasons and with a view to staying here for about the same amount of time!

I've got a bunch of very desirable skills that are being put on the cv so it's a case of 'this time next year, Rodders...'

[TinTrump]

Nice one!

[Pondlife]

Well, I got the gig and I've conditionally accepted. The missus is over the moon as we will now have what she calls a "normal" family life and can plan holidays etc....TBH everyone is happier that me! I think I'm still in shock!

Congrats

Looking forward to spending some time with the family and the new little stingster, he's only 8 weeks old and at least this time I'll see him crawl,walk,talk,etc for the first time.

Definitely the right choice then.

Can I still post on CUK? Please?

No. You'll be too busy trying to meet your personal development targets in time for your next appraisal.

Congratulations.

I know it does not seem ideal but we all have to do what we have to do to survive.

TBH I'd take a permie job now if I was offered one.

[stingman123]

Congratulations.

Any celebration?

I'd love to, ut I'm up in the North East, anyone up here? Fancy a few pints? (I can afford some now)

However it will soon be back to withdrawing single notes from the cashpoint from now on! Loads of bills to catch up on!

[sweetandsour]

You miss the structure that permiedom supplies, you went permie for the challenge it presents.

Take the shilling, you know it makes sense, took me 9 months. 5 years ago, just don't mention the plan b.

[SuperZ]

They make detect your contractor > permiedom desperateness a mile away,but good luck though.

[cailin maith]

Me too, although I've been in contract all year,
