Surely if a pimp has bothered to leave you a voicemail they are genuinely trying to get hold of you because you think you are right for a particular role they have. If so, why o why do half of them speed through their phone number so you can't jot it down? How incredibly stupid of them. I've lost patience with this kind of pimp now and just delete the message.

Even if you manage to write down the number and you call them, they will never answer or if someone answers (never the pimp that called you) they are always "in a meeting" or "a lunch break" (lunch breaks normally lasting from 10AM to 4PM) after which they will call back immediately (immediately meaning never ever at all)Comment

And even if they speak to you and say you're a great match, remember you're often only speaking to a drone. Your cv might get forwarded to the fateful 'Account Manager' who'll promptly look for those asking for the lowest rate and will frequently filter out better quality contractors.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Oddly a lot of them have young male trainees........"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
