"why give people a start date"? : Well, i call it commitment from an employer.

Make no mistake. I did indeed work with jmc man, in jmc. We are NOT the same person!
As regards my motivation, I was aghast to be kept hanging on by NOW. I spoke to them on several occasions and heard the same thing..... contracts to br issued shortly, we have you down for the first training course etc etc.
And then they said, " could you leave within 3 months of your notice period?"
Why ask that? If they wanted me to be on the first course, they should have given me a contract immediately.
I hope it works, because as you all say, the NOW bunch are NICE! However, the whole process left me feeling nervous, so I decided to stay put in my current job!
Hope that answers your questions!
