Age : 45
Industry : 23
Contracting : 15.5 (some perm in the middle)
First year of contract - April 93, applying involved faxing CV to agencies advertising in Freelance Informer (no idea of actual vacancies) and waiting for the phone to ring. Amazingly it did...

PS My nephew in law is in the police, says you should always shred absolutely everything, even if mail only has addresses. Not sure I follow that, isn't that detail freely available in telephone directories? Still, he is no idiot.

If it looks like an official letter then a con man may get away with using it as proof of ID. I tear the address sections off any official looking documents.
