Had an interview with end client who pretty much offered me the gig at the end of the interview although she said she wanted to make a decision that day (the Friday) as she will be off on the Monday and Tuesday. Problem is that their preferred supplier farmed recruitment for the job to another...- ziggystardust

Boomed

Boomed Butti
8 miles from home, 65% more than current gig. Happy. Something close to home suits at the moment with family situation to be honest.
