Of course, there's no tenure or benefits, and he works by himself in a basement cubby.&nbsp; At least there is less of the old "office polotics!"&nbsp; We have to be go-getters in this new world! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1093455 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:35:39 +0000 Mander 1093455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is indeed -- not a lot of jobs to go around, especially if you aren't in the south.&nbsp; Hopefully things will improve soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1092962 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:00:43 +0000 Anonymous 1092962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are done -- I couldn't remember if you were or not :)</p> <p>I have a bunch of friends working in London doing contract arch, but it does seem like a tough situation over there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1092949 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:07:03 +0000 Mander 1092949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Ceit, you mean with my PhD? I'm done, got to wear the silly hat and everything.&nbsp; But I've been struggling to find a job either in archaeology or in anything else.&nbsp; Just too much competition in my part of the world, I guess.</p> <p>Rachy, the scarf isn't too hugely different but the orange in the cardigan is a bit more pink than the orange in the scarf, and somehow it looked odd to me in person.&nbsp; It's probably just me -- I'm happy to mix all kinds of shades of teal blue, grey, and green, but somehow mixed shades of red and orange don't look right to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1092392 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 22:24:51 +0000 rachylou 1092392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good neutral look. The scarf works for me on-screen anyways... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1092341 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:37:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 1092341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely Mander, glad it went well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1092315 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:11:07 +0000 Thistle 1092315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

Are you writing up now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-meet-the-temp-agency-rep#post-1092132 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:47:17 +0000 Mander 1092132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input yesterday -- I decided to go with a dress + jacket combo.&nbsp; It was freezing today, so I also had a cardigan on underneath my jacket.&nbsp; This is not the greatest photo but you get the idea -- grey dress, grey tights, grey shoes, B/W jacket, orange cardigan, multi-colored scarf, steel blue bag.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm not that happy with the scarf -- after I got on the train I realized that the colors aren't quite right for the cardigan or the bag.&nbsp; Oops.&nbsp; I didn't really want to wear black or a contrasting color tights, and I didn't have any decent nude tights on hand, so I ended up with these slightly shiny tights.&nbsp; A pattern might have been ok, perhaps a cable knit given the cold weather, but I thought this was an acceptable substitute.&nbsp; And I will keep an eye out for a scarf with a steely blue in the pattern, or a better match for the orange.</p> <p>The meeting with the rep went well in any case -- she seemed pleased with my experience and seemed to think that she would be able to find me something.&nbsp; Fingers crossed!&nbsp; It would be nice to have a regular source of income for a change. </p>
