Which can take as long as a whole day sometimes.Originally posted by bless 'em all View PostDepends on how far you want to travel for work - you have SC so try the job boards which deal with those roles.
Trouble with SC roles is the waiting around while they go through the whole BPSS process.
Most of the BC/BPSS checks I've had done take under a hour if the department doing it isn't snowed under or totally slack.

If you read this thread from yesterday then you might see the state of the market in London. The strange thing is that I haven't encountered a SQL DBA for years, Oracle yes but SQL Server bods usually have other skills on top....Originally posted by Gym beast View PostHaha, I'm a SQL DBA very near to London, but been in permie(ish) land for a couple of years waiting for the sun to shine, got my SC out of it too. But never hunted around this late in the year.Last edited by eek; 26 October 2013, 10:44.

Asking us to predict the hiring policy for your skillset for the businesses in you chosen area in a given month is almost impossible. On top of that you don't tell us the location or skillset either.
