    It's tough out there at the moment but there will be something that 'fits' you. I've been for 3 interviews in the last month and the first one they deliberated for an hour between me and a.n.other before picking them :mad:
    Just applied for a 6 month one that is a step down from where I want to go but would really help with experience.

    Anyway just wanted to reiterate the Dr Who mantra

    Souk my lovely,

    been pondering your situtation & wondering about a couple of things;

    Have you tried contacting them in a business like manner to enquire if they have sorted themselves out yet ?

    If not, I think it might well be time.

    Secondly, a different viewpoint really, but by now I think I would be wondering if I actually wanted to work for a company that are this lax with decision making, paperwork or whatever issue it is that's holding them back.

    If they have been keeping in contact with you & updating you on the situation, fair enough. Otherwise I would be asking myself if this a very clear sign as to how they operate & if I would be content with that.

    I believe you are too fabulous for this sort of treatment & am :mad: on your behalf.

    In this situation, it's definitely a case of it not being you that's the problem, it's them :p

    Glorious vibes being sent your way
    xx

    Really good point lula

    Similar thing happened to my brother a while back. He was called back a few times for interviews, had 'informal' meetings with directors etc. but they never actually firmed anything up. He decided that if they faffed about that much over recruiting a senior manager, how would he ever get anything done when he worked for them?

    Chin up lovey!

    Here's another one reinforcing Lula's **glorious** vibes (oh I love that phrase!).

    You're too fabulous for this treatment - is it time to look London way? (she said innocently, knowing Souk's presence withint 50 miles would force me to raise my game unimaginably).
