    Now I'm worried - I actually got called regarding this one, just because I have sharepoint on my CV as a BA.

    Graduate/Junior Project Coordinator/Analyst, Project Office Support (Public Sector, Warwick).

    Our customer (a leading supplier to the public sector) is seeking a Graduate/Junior Project Analyst/Coordinator with preferably a background in such administration focused roles.
    ...
    Location WARWICK
    Country UK
    Start Date ASAP
    Duration 3 MONTHS+
    Rate UP TO £9.00 PER HOUR
    £9 per hour (if you get the full whack) is £360 per working week. With 25 days holiday and 10 days public holidays, even with no sick or bench rime you're looking at £16200 p.a. billing, say £14362 gross salary after ERs

    Compared with:

    McDonald's seeks trainee managers
    ...
    The company, which has featured in the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers list each year for the past 10 years, offers trainees a starting salary of £21,500 a year, with additional allowances for those working in London and the South East.
    ...
    Following the initial training course, trainees work with a restaurant management team for two to three years before becoming a business manager on a salary of £45,000.

    Other benefits include 25 days' holiday a year, or 30 days after three years, a paid eight-week sabbatical every 10 years, and the option of a company pension.
    Note: I do not work for McDonalds, nor indeed eat their products. But I think I'd rather get a job there than the contract advertised above.

      Good office counts for a lot on a contract. Bet they have great coffee there, and good toilets.

        You spend a lot of your time in the traps then?

          You'd need to spend a lot of time in there to earn your first £20 poo.
