>Thanks for the input , guys. I have applied and am waiting for the agent to tell me if the client is interested. probably come to nowt anyway.

>>I don't know about your financial situation but there's one thing to think about.

>>Besides money this could be an interesting opportunity to get into the .net world and this could lead to other interesting jobs after you're finished with that one..

>>>Just this morning I was sitting and thinking, "Is there any future in IT for me? Nowt's come up for ages. I need to get a job. Do I take anything, even low wage, or do I hold out for a proper IT job? No I think I need to continue and not give up on it just yet." The unemployment service have started to try to bully me into taking, say, a driver/deliveryman type job. I have been thinking of other outlets, esp. since working on my "mini farm", and of getting into garden development (I have a friend who does it occasionally and, if business picks up ...)
>>>
>>>Anyway 10 mins later my phone rings: an agency with some VFP work. DAN - DAN - DAHHHHN!
>>>
>>>Anyway, the down-side: It's in the City of London (1.5 hrs commute - once I've got to the train - each way - and something I've always abhorred), the travelling would cost a bomb, it's only for 3 months, then I'm back as I was.
>>>
>>>The upside: In that 3 mths I can earn up to nearly half of my last yearly salary (dep on what rate the agent can blag me). The role is as the VFP guru in a team that is converting a VFP suite to C# and .NET - sort of front-ending the developers. So there's the opportunity for me to absorb that side of the business and get it under my belt for my CV.
>>>
>>>What dya think? Sound like a good move? Useful experience? Who knows, I might even get to like the "high-life" in the City.
>>>
>>>Anyways, the agent was sounding me out as to whether it's worth submitting my CV to the employer, and a telephone interview would need to be passed first. So I'm not cock-a-hoop with paroxysms of expectation just yet
