When interviewing for the penultimate gig the comment was that I hadn't been in a role for more than 6 months since going contracting.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostWhat are you going to do to reinforce how you feel today, so you can call on it in the future?
People look at my CV and say to me "Ooh, you've had a lot of jobs, haven't you?".
Ten contracts since October 1995.
This gig should redress the balance. Every time we get the project sorted they go and change their business model and have a massive restructure.

A very productive and honest chat, and potential extension for the rest of the year.
