Have a great holiday, hope its not much longer than the 4 weeks.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office. -
Yep, but I've found a couple of great gigs in the summer holidays in the past as companies decided they needed replacements or had very urgent requirements; even started one without an interview and purely on the basis of being available, and it turned out very well. Bear in mind that in the holiday period there are less contracts on offer, but also less people available to start immediately.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
