Stick to NW region otherwise your just making up the candidate numbers as London living expenses are so high anyway your better off not working here as the rate difference will fly out your pocket faster than you can ever earn it!"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostCommon does not equal competent. A contractor is only as good as the interviewer and the hiring manager's desire to spend the appropriate time and money to get in the right contractor."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
