Waiting to hear about a job. I don't really need it however I expect to receive some sort of feedback after six interviews over 2 months.

Talking of jobs, I have a 2nd interview this afternoon for a perm role. Assuming all goes well they intend to make me an offer today.

The reason this is hacking me off is because on Friday evening I got a phone call from an agency about a really good contract role that will pay substantially more in 6 months than one year in this perm role. I spent most of Saturday re-doing my CV to ensure it highlighted the parts that are relevant for the role, and putting together an email explaining my relevant experience in more detail. They want 2 rounds of interviews and someone to start next Wednesday. However, it's a gamble because it's on the periphery of my skillset (hence the re-write of my CV) and I might not even get a 1st interview, let alone a 2nd. I also won't hear if I've even got anywhere until tomorrow.

I really don't want a perm role though...I'm going to have to stall a bit to see what happens.

As far as I am aware my contract will be renewed until April however contracting will be pretty much dead from that point onwards.

This role pays about the same as my current contract but with pension, healthcare, bonus etc. on top so if I get the nod I will probably take it.

That said it wouldn't surprise me if the open headcount has been slashed so i will just have to wait and see.

Probably, but that isn't the case in the public sector...either way, good luck...
 
England game was shocking last night, Maguire was abysmal and Kane is monumentally off form yet Southgate persists with them, and brings Henderson on as a sub. Needs to go with Grealish, Calvert-Lewin, Mount and James and start building a team around those guys.
