Be a little careful - they may promise to appoint you as a skill-gaining architect, but in practice keep you doing the same job you were doing as a contractor because it is more convenient for them.

I hope you are doing a bit more in the background to try find more work than waiting to see what your client says. Wish and prayer doesn't really cover this one.Last edited by northernladuk; 8 June 2018, 17:11.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Working for 6 months of the year sounds pretty good to me.
