Short Notice

While the job offer is still standing, it’s not been confirmed yet, waiting on references and a final decision – which is somewhat annoying.

However, next week I’m working. No idea exactly where, or exactly what I’m going to be doing – but I’ll be working.

It’s even more bizarre than my usual standards – I’ve never met the people, never even spoken to them. I got an email from an  agency on Friday lunchtime asking if I was available for something on Monday in London. Well, yes, I am/was. I got some more details – day rate, basic idea of the job (build a website for a client of an advertising agency) – and sent back my up-to-date CV.

Less than an hour later I got another email. “OK, you’ve got it.” and thus started the paperwork bit.

I don’t even know how to add that into my usual ratio of interview to job offer. It’s a job offer (admittedly only a very short-term contract, one week maybe two) without any form of interview.

And how weird is that?
