    Erm, ok.

    I'm kinda sensible so no notice will be handed in until I'm absolutely sure. I know my rights regarding my notice and I'm comfortable with that.

    Also, I'm happy for this thread to be closed if it annoys you that I've posted on my only thread.

    Cheers

    My notice is 4 weeks and they are aware of it, it's not an issue.

    After various let-downs from recruiters, I have secured an interview on Friday.

    I'm still in my perm role, but I'm hopeful that I'll be successful and start my new adventure.

    So don't be disappointed if you don't walk into a PM role then, it's very oversubscribed field. Don't ever forget that the main difference between permanent and contractor is the former sells their potential, the latter sells their recent experience. Qualifications come a distant last when short-listing people.

    But you won't know if you don't try. Best of luck!

    Thanks for accepting me.

    I'm looking at moving into contracting as I'm more project focused and prefer to work on something for 6 months or so and then hand it over to BAU.

    I'l looking to learn a lot on here.

    Cheers
