Yes Cliff- he is in IT Project Management.

Anyway- a slight update on the situation.
Telecom guy has emailed Neil today- Alcatel are interested in him and have seen his CV. We know have to arrange a convenient time for them to get a phone reference from the UK but all sounds quite promising- still a little reluctant to get excited yet though.

That is exactly what I used to do. My last contract was as a PM for IBM. There is a high demand for PM roles right now. The new financial year has just started and proejcts are starting. Telecom is big but Alcatel might be better. If he has Telecom or voip experience he won't have an issue at all.

Sorry he has to do so many interviews such is the way of telecom. Once he gets in he will meet other pm's in NZ (small world here).

Good luck.

CHeers.

Cliff

It may be informal but the meeting may be more important than you think. Often you meet with the real decision makers in a scenario like this.

Good luck.
