So like, EEP!!! Going contractor...

Aaaannnnnnd I got the job I was after... If not in the form I was originally looking for...

It'll be a full-time contractor role going part-time a month-ish after starting and I'll STILL be on more than I'm on now.

The catch: I have to somehow be out of my current job and sign with the new company by October as they're having a code freeze then and won't be taking anyone else on... That's like... 2 weeks away...

And as my luck would have it, there's no-one around here with any power that I can negotiate my notice period with.

EEP!!

Erm... Life doesn't half throw some curve-balls at'cha.

Well you could just start the new job and not be working yet, as they only need to get you on there books.

Jobs are a nightmare, I got offered a telephone interview with Glaxosmithkliene, they rang me while I was on holiday to invite me for the interview. Obviously I was on holiday and couldnt prepare as there was no internet which they said was fine and would not hamper my chances....so I rang them when I got back to rearrange and I now have to wait for the next recruitment wave, and they dont know when that will be.

Soooooo Annoying.

Notice periods are a funny thing.
