That is harder?Originally posted by ctdctd View PostInterview today, start Monday. 6 months on the ticket.
Crap rate and away from home but at least they are springing for the hotel:-)
Stats, as it has been harder than usual:-
Started applying Feb 11th
28 applications on JobServe / Reed
5 callbacks from agents all saying they'll put CV forward (So probably only 5 real roles out of the 28!!)
3 callbacks from agents offering a completely different role to that advertised.
1 telephone interview with client followed by face to face
1 gig
