    How long will they give you a contract for? Very risky if they can get rid of you after a month? And how did they find you? If you have. Wen head hunted surely you're worth more than that?

    Full time employment clearing £600 a week there must be a catch somewhere?
    I`m up in Scotland and know of most companys and the chances of getting that money on the books are few and far between.

    Yet to see contract mate popping up for a trial. Taking the misses some convincing. Lol. Used to live up there, thought it was great till a house fire demolished all my belongings.

    I would be worried about them pulling the plug on your job after a year...2 years....back to the drawing board then. Best off building up your own business. If your happy to move and got no commitments its not so bad I guess

    Im in aberdeenshire mate. I just started with a company in aberdeen at the end of july, seems like decent money to me. Depends what your workload is/how much is expected of you. All the best and good luck in whatever you decide
