    BOOMED (possibly double boomed)

    Got the renewal contract through today!

    Interviewed for a perm place next to my house and they want me back for a final interview on Friday - I might go just to see what is happening there!

    On holiday next week so can go with a smile!

    possibly
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      So I assume the second Boom will be the ability to turn down a scummy perm role?

      I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

          Congrats!

          Is the perm job potentially good enough to take you away from the contracting life then?

              Probably not ... it is 50k and a few minutes from the house in an industry which is growing rather than shrinking.

              The contract I am on now only does 3 monthly renewals and is quite uncertain, although a nice place - 30 minute drive from home. The rate is not awesome but it is okay for outside of London. Not much other contract work around other than in London where the competition is severe and the commute will increase by 2 hours a day.

              However, I have had my fingers burned with the permie world and would rather stay independant and run my own company rather than give all of the control to other people ... hmmmm .... would need to think if I got offered it but they would have to absolutely blow me away at this interview to stand a chance to tempting me over.

                Yes, but I cannot get you a job - stop wearing fake beards and pretending you are someone else when you apply, or at least stop using the same name!!

                    Ah - a few years ago a younger me concluded an interview with a company by being asked out by the HR girl interviewing me, good old days ...
