I have lost an interesting contract role (for a government client) due to some screening agency not giving me BPSS clearance simply because I do not have a UK passport thus they could not verify my identity and right to work.

I am still in shock because I have consulted other screening organisations and found out not being a UK citizens is no grounds for giving and adverse BPSS result. I have been in the UK for over 7 years and did provide my share code, BRP, driving licence, passport!

Is there anything you can do to contest that decision or is it just kind of too late now? I’m not familiar with the process so can’t say much in that regard. Can really understand how frustrating it would be to lose something over an issue that shouldn’t have come up in the first place.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job.
