    Thanks for the warnings, I accidentally submitted a CV to Avance this week.

    They called back and the conversation took twice as long as it should have as I had to ask for each sentence to be repeated, the rate was about £75-£100pd lower than it should've been for the role and the agent asked me to add a specific keyword into every role on my CV within and hour so that she could "secure an interview with TCS".

    I am approaching contract end and most likely some bench time but even with that in mind I couldn't take the application forward, it felt a bit dodgy.
    Here is my current Gmail label and filter search setting

    FROM matches
    "adroitpeople.com OR avanceservices.uk OR avanceservices.co.uk OR brightpurple.com OR damcosoft.com OR ibuconsulting.com OR infoplusltd.co.uk OR mpower-plus.co OR silverlinktechnologies.com OR smartedgesolutions.co.uk OR ubique-systems.com OR tgcworld.com
    "

    I pasted that into Label and Filtering search for the conversations and then I select (*) Archive mail message, (*) Mark as read and also (*) Move to folder/label e.g. "ZZZZIndianRec" or something similar. I also update the matching conversations.

    Then I never see the blasted emails and I cursory have a look in there "ZZZIndianRec" folder and then bulk delete them from time to time.

    I also notice that some companies are using international calls over Skype or partner offices. Some even though I blocked the phone number on my iPhone, they still get through on Do Not Disturb or pass the Block number. I have no idea on Android.

    Doesn't work like that.

Banks would save a fortune having their back office functions along the M62 corridor, just like New York uses the Carolinas.
