    Bench Time is Over

    Been seven months since my last gig and although I enjoyed the first few months, once it got cold I wanted to get back in.

    For those struggling, my advice is to persevere and stay positive.

    Excellent news!

    So which Public Sector contract did you accept in the end?

          Cheers, thankfully it's with a City insurance company; a change for me from banks.

              Congratulations, did you change your approach or just wait until your number came up? I've been on the bench for 3 days and I'm already starting to panic, maybe NCOTBAC

                You panic, when you drunkenly stumble back to the cashpoint, with Colombia's finest all over your chin, to pay for another couple of ho's, only to realise, the overdraft is not the only thing blown that afternoon.

                    That seems like a lucky break - usually INS will only accept people with an INS background.

                    Seven months was a long stretch. Hope there is not a next time but if there is try to make more of it.

                    All the best.
