Work, or perhaps more accurately ‘the chance of work’
Got a call today from an agency who I seem to have inadvertently submitted my CV to at some point in the past, who wanted to know if I was interested in having my CV submitted for a 3-month contract. Well, seeing as I shall be freelancing my little arse off at the end of the month, I thought, “why not”.
So, as one does with these things, I asked if it was a job or a contracting thing, and the nice woman at the other end said contracting. Cool. Then she asked me my hourly rate. Ok, seeing as I haven’t done this properly for a long while, I popped a number of the top of my head and said £30. She says fine. “FINE”?
By my calculations, and they’re not usually too far out, that ends up being about a grand a week or about £4k a month (untaxed) for a 35 hour week.
Not to be sniffed at… so I’m gonna do my CV tonight, just in case.
Now I just hope the work isn’t dull as dishwater… :-) Oh, and that I get it (or something similar!)
Right, off to Ikea.
