Was contacted by someone called "Imogen" on gmail via Indeed / Linkedin, proceeded to email contact back and forth, was asked to free my schedule same day for a telephone call in the evening, so I did and gave them a pretty large 4 - 6 hour window to call, and have been proceeded to be ghosted, never called and never emailed back. A complete and utter unprofessional waste of time.

I'm sure he would help you secure the right role!

At first I didnt feel that it was my forte, however, I decided to give it my best shot. After completing the first month which I thoroughly enjoyed the job continued being extended and my assignment lasted 5 months in total. I thoroughly enjoyed the job and picked up some great IT skills to add to my cap. Whitehorse secured another assignment immediately this one finished for 4 days, and now I have a new assignment starting for 4-6 weeks with the
