And whilst I have your attention, bar-type people....can I ask for opinions...?
I currently do lots of odds & sods to keep myself and it's ok. Just had a recruitment consultant ring up to tell me about a permanent job with a reasonable salary & bens, etc but it's full-time.....
I know you don't know my situation & can't really judge, but OH is away and I'm quite tempted but he wouldn't be impressed as he would get landed with stuff.
Ramble, ramble....

Close your eyes - visualise a set of traffic lights. What do you see (no hesitating), go with the colour you get first! (Stop, proceed with caution, or go?)

Hon - if you have weighed your options both pro and con and want the job - then go for it! Im sure you both can work out the details later. Is there anyway you can contact hubby to chat with him about it?

Although our plan/dream is to find work in Canada, in the meantime I can't put my life on hold. I've been applying for legal jobs around the Midlands, and it's been pretty disheartening, got a law degree from the wrong Uni and I'm older than most postgrads so less attractive for the work market (not that they'd ever admit to my age being an issue). Anyway, I have a job interview on Friday. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but it's a foot in the door. The downside, I feel sick and have no idea what they will ask me in the interview.

Man, I cannot keep pace with the "conversation" in these places. Sorry guys, way behind in the loop, but still "GOOD lUCK" to Britjo67 if you are still out there.

After 24 hours she picked herself up and used all of her experience to land a job with the No1 legal firm in her field. Be confident in the knowledge that you will have much better "soft" skills than the average straight through the system type.
