    Bench update

    So, who's currently on the bench?

    It's a bit dark in here and I'd like to know who's sitting next to me - to avoid any nasty surprises.

    I'm still on the bench, but I'm not going to hold hands with you.

    Interview tomorrow. And another on Thursday. Not too hopeful about either, TBH. (That's the way to approach life! Negative all the way. )

      I'm still here but 98% of my focus is now on plan b.

      I never thought the test management market could get so bad so good luck to everyone that is still actively looking.

        Just about to jump off..came within a whisker of taking a permy role for a while, only for a contract to pop out of woodwork 4 months with hardly a sniff of other contract work - reassuring that permy stuff about and gettable if I was desperate for the cash mind...

          Same here. I don't have time to look for a gig, I'm too busy. Only problem is it hasn't delivered any actual money yet.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            I'm still benched but I'm only in my second week.

            I've been rejected for 4 gigs last week, put forward for one today - not a great rate but work is work.

              Third day. Working on plan B. Expect to be here for a while.

              If you feel anything wet and slimy then I've probably been successful on the river. If you find a ring then its mine!

                  Sorry - won't be there to give you a until after Christmas. I'm planning on having a little break in January; hopefully it won't last longer than I would wish...

                    Polls only allow ten answers, IIRC; I suspect there would have to be multiple polls to cover all the CUKers currently sharing that piece of furniture
