    No problem with that I know the client, another contractor I've previously worked with is already there and its as local as I will sensibly get and the calls are actual reference calls rather than attempted sales calls but I'm struggling to see what the calls actually achieve.

    Previous manager is now a friend, contractor who is already there wants another competent person and friendly face to chat to and I was sat 3 feet away when the other reference was taken.....
    Where will you be travelling down from?

    Whether I get it or not doesn't make a difference to the fact I am interviewing for a genuine role at a rate so high I might cry. Good signs. However, I think the market is demanding the experience and skills which is probably why the market is looking good to us....

    What in the world is a mechanical cad?

    A robot who runs off with your g/f, and never returns your best set of golf clubs they borrowed?
