Bastards! I had a contract starting tomorrow for 2-3 weeks. They just cancelled it as the person who was leaving that I was replacing decided to stay on for another two weeks. They had the cheek to ask if I could start in February. Sod them. I bloody hope I have something else by then.

I went for an interview for a 6 months contract a couple of weeks ago but I have to wait for someone to come back from holiday next week for a second and maybe third interview. There are two of us up for this one, and it's well-paid too. I know someone who works there but I don't have the self-confidence to think I have much of a chance.

I agree with Executrix about saying 'yes' to the Feb offer, but with your fingers crossed.

Of course you are in with a good chance for the other contract. Heavens at the very least you are in the top 2 candidates, that says a good deal about your suitability in itself.

There are only two candidates. Not many people have the computer language required for this job (or want to). In many ways it's a step back from what I've done, but it's good pay, good hours, and hardly any user support. I'm not holding my breath though.
