Still its good to keep the illusion of self control, makes us feel different to permies.

Originally posted by The Central Scrutinizer View PostGot a call from an agent yesterday about a job in London. It was a FTC.

Got a call back this morning saying that they had spoken to the client yesterday and the client thought it was highly unlikely they would get the calibre they need on FTC's so may well be that in a few weeks they will come out interim in which case and they would still still be keen to represent me.
