I have a question.
The client I am currently milking, for my living, is making lots of permies redundant and will get rid of contractors as soon as possible. I've been working from home for 4.5 weeks. So I applied for 3 jobs in Nuclear Subs in Derby and Barrow.
Given that my SC clearance lapsed about 18 months ago, I'd have a 12 week wait, but i guess as my house isn't approved for Official sensitive documents I would have to work on site.
But see no reason to travel for an interview.
I wonder if they'll agree to do interview via Skype or webex.
I await the agencies reading my very carefully tailored CV.

Video interviews aren't a new concept.

I wouldn't jump until you're told your position is definitely canned...

Not jumping and not applying are two different things, but get the boat at the quayside before stepping off...

What DG said, we're running an entire graduate assessment centre over video link on Wednesday.

If they can make Nuclear Subs sink, then a skype interview should not be beyond them! That said, my dad has worked a couple of contracts on Raynesway and never ceases to be amazed by the state of their office technology.

I'd have thought making it sink is the easy bit .... making it surface again is the harder bit

Just pump it full of air... If you can make enough...

I know .... 

But you need to dive with enough air to get you back to 'the roof' again .... and if you loose it all at the bottom then you're Donald Ducked!

Spoke to a recruitment person or 3 today. Barrow looking for lots of Manufacturing Engineers and have offered without bothering to interview.
Apparently background checks will be a bottle neck. I can wait.

Nice to know you've got one in the pocket

Spoke to a recruitment person or 3 today. Barrow looking for lots of Manufacturing Engineers and have offered other people in the past without bothering to interview.
Apparently background checks will be a bottle neck. I can wait.

Let me clarify that.

Well, not unexpectedly I had THE call from my current hiring manager.
My last day is 1st MAY. 
I'll be Furloughing myself through my Ltd company whilst I attempt to obtain paying work. 

So if anyone needs a Chartered Manufacturing Engineer, 6 Sigma Black Belt and Lean Specialist, whose skills lie in procurement and Introduction of Assembly and Test Equipment let me know. Experience in Automotive, Aerospace, Nuclear, and Defence

For a small to medium company I'd happily do some freelance improvement work with payment on results.

Anyway, wife says I should have a few weeks off and chill.

Well he was constantly playing with it.

You need to have any job lined up by the end of the week. Doesn't matter what it is, but waiting will only limit the opportunities and won't keep the bills paid.

I have applied for everything I am qualified for.

My whole outlook for the future is bleak it seems.
