I joked with them as I signed "I'm not signing for al qaida am I ? Ha ha"

now i'm bloody stuck in Pakistan waiting in a car for a bloody ransom. That's the last time I go with Dodgy agent!!!

I did a government role once where I didn't know which department or what the project was until I started.

Interview was the hardest one ever.

Them: We would want you to do a specific piece of work.
Me: OK - what is it?
Them: Oh, we can't tell you that.
Me: OK - where is it based?
Them: The south. Can't tell you more than that.

Were they playing the mission impossible theme tune in the background?

Well I started, signed my NDA and then found out what the project is!

I strongly suspect that I'm not going to be offered the job so it saves me a decision.

I might go skiing instead...

We'll beat it out of you at the Spring Bash. But you won't be there, will you?

Oh carp! What are they cooking up now?

(Rhetorical question BTW - again, not expecting an answer)

[MarillionFan]

Obviously you can't confirm it if you've signed an NDA, but that sounds like it might be ID cards.

As Milan would say, "Oh dear".

I went for two interviews at clientco, and on the 2nd one the alarms bells were well and truly ringing, especially as they wouldnt tell me about the project until I signed an NDA.

Now the bloody alarm bell has fallen off the wall.

Indeed. As long as you have a contract with them that you are happy with why not?

Worst case - money in the bank till April?

Yep and whilst doing so, finding the next gig.

.... well I spose you can knock them back and stay unemployed ..... at least you'll have your pride (cant be bothered looking for the rolleyes graphic).

Surely when you dont have business cards, company email address etc. etc. then it would be obvious you're not one of his team..
