Afroman Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Cant shake off the festive break. Feel like I am done here. It's not the same since I have been back. I had an interview today, I am feeling like I blew it man. Plus I got there late, which I have never done before. I think that also through me off from the start. I dont know if three months in is too early to bounce,but seeing almost double the daily rate for similar position outside is making me uneasy. I am taking a GABOS approach this year eith regards to contracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Fivestar Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Has anyone made the jump from perm to contracting. Thinking about leaving field based role to contract as local authority but dunno if I got the balls to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realone2016 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Sn, new to this ting tbh got my first contract yesterday first time having an interview entirely over the phone but not sure if its contracting by definition or temping lol was initially told an hour rate then my recruiter told me its 150 a day. Gonna roll to this interview for a perm role this morning though as I don't think i'm ready for contracting, it's one thing to secure a role but to actually make a lifestyle out of it is another story wold take this perm role if i get it for the stability.

Afroman Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Woah! Actually got offered the job. Got the call this morning! Gonna be resigning this week. With regards to contracting, I only started in september via my limited company after changing industry My previous roles have always been FTC. Both perm and contracts have its pros & cons, I think it depends on the industry you are in. If jobs roles are not surplus, I will recommend perm. Personally, I dont know if I will be going back to perm anytime soon though. Freedom , money and not getting involved with in house politics is very attractive at the mo. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it to be a LLC straight away but they were asking for silly money(100,000-200,000 CHF) so I decided to go in as a sole trader which I have been quoted by various outlets ranging from 2000-40000 CHF which sounds a tad realistic and within my pocket money range. Going to visit Luxembourg next to see what the tax haven is saying and also if I can actually buy a stake in a club out there then stage a hostile takeover within two weeks of being on board. I decided not to register myself as an agency. Why? Be the distro(agent) when you can be the connect(Owner of a football club)?. If I pull this off it will be easily the biggest achievement in my life so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realone2016 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Rejected for the perm role despite the recruiter amping me up the next day about how positive the feedback was. Calls me again today talking bout a second interview for the same role in a different department sounds dodge tbh giving that a miss.

Badman Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I would give it a go even if you dont necessarily want the job it will strengthen your bargaining position when trying to get your ideal job as it will give you leverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grafter Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 4 weeks ago we started a process which i manage which involves people filling in spreadsheets. Deadline was Monday gone Week before last i sent my regular weekly email and followed it up with " please be advised of the timeline" and included the time table Last Friday loads of people still hadnt engaged so in my weekly email above the red writing (which ive been including for the last two years and flags things people need to aware of AND was praised by manager for doin so) i added in black bold 'we had wanted the spreadsheets to be completed by monday because...and here i included the exact text my manager used in her original guidance and timeline Underneath i wrote "unfortunately the timeline will be impacted because several spreadsheets are no where near finished" All directors are copied in My manager just tried to reprimand me today over this. Apparently its too abrupt... I also asked people to please ensure they fill in the basic information otherwise the rest of the spreadsheet content is "rendered useless" That was also deemed rude and abrupt and "stingy" Only one person responded in a rude way imo (manager is justifying this persons remarks) even though two other people agree this person was rude. As a result of my email on Friday engagement increased by 60% An im askin her several times to tell me how i should have worded it. No concrete response, diversion to bits rhat are irrelevant to the "abrupt" remark Oh an the flagged points in red which she previously praised me for are apparently now too rude because its in red... I am done Don't even wanna come in again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seydou Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 ABW. I think they have labelled you unfortunately. And with your email and response, that label is now confirmed. It's piss taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermalt Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thats a piss take. Damned if the work wasnt done too. The worst thing is having a snowflake manager like that which vast majority of the time are wowo. Facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
