Yep.

Three months initial gig on current work, then form part of 'core team' to move on to hoped for/expected work.

It's a chance at least.

Congratulations! Epic win!

Big blooming bunch of bananas for you sir.

[KimberleyChris]

Woohoo! Well done.

But seriously, 15 months on the bench?? Eek!

Was that all involuntary? May I ask what your field of expertise is? How did you get round the 'so, tell me what kind of experience you've garnered over the past year' interview type questions?

Thanks.
Yes, it was a good benching, and by far the worst year of my life.
I am a mechanical/electrical technical author, from the nuclear power/fuel/waste equipment 'culture'.
It's just been a very bad time for the nuclear industry up here (in Cumbria), but hopefully things are starting to pick up a little.
To be honest, I didn't get asked much about the immediate past. My CV reads like 'War and Peace' and the interviewers were from the same goldfish bowl as me, so they already knew for themselves how bad things have been.

Monks are on holiday but the Indian FTVs arranged a goat sacrifice. Good luck

Ewww.

Is that what they do to their contractors who don't make the grade?

Hot interview tomorrow, after over a year on the bench.

Can I have the chanting buddhist monks back up please? :-)

Thanks

All my wobbly bits are crossed.

[KimberleyChris]

Errr......thanks, but no thanks. I step round ants.

What a wimp.

I've just sacrificed a nice bottle of cheap red wine instead. Goodnite all and thanks for the wishes.
