And don't you be kicking the bandit or you'll be out
It's a poor show when even Cavy and B3th aren't around in the evening.

No offence, ladies, but you're a constant in our lives.

Hey b3th, I'm on on the job hunt.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 20:07, Reply)

Hey! Me too!
Found another one in tonight's paper.

so, are looking for a job or a new contract?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 1 Feb 2012, 20:08, Reply)

Contract. Far more lucrative and it suits me at the moment.
I've found a job in The City that is pretty much exactly what I'm doing at the moment. So I'll speak to the agency tomorrow. The rate is a lot higher than I'm getting at the moment as well (well, the 'advertised' rate is, how much of that is to just get details from people remains to be seen).
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 20:10, Reply)

Well, if you do contracts you're still your own boss
and as long as you hit the deliverables, you've pretty much got autonomy over the project.
You could always go in asking for the advertised rate and agree to come down a bit so you look accommodating.

I tend to no get bogged down with the financials until I've got an offer.
Unless I need to pitch for the work on the basis of price. It's normally more lucrative to wait until they've said 'no' to the other candidates before arguing over money!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 20:15, Reply)

Sounds fair enough.
You know your own market.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 1 Feb 2012, 20:17, Reply)

Not really.
Tell me about the one you're going to apply for.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 20:19, Reply)

It's part of the fundraising team for a local hospice charity.
A little bit of all the things I like, and it's only twenty something hours a week.
I'm a bit maudlin tonight, so I'll leave it till tomorrow to do the application.
