I went through him for a SAS QA role. Got an interview however i stuffed it up a bit.

He's a nice enough chap though. He was on site for the interviews if i remember right he even bought me a coffee.. Who says you dont get anything for free in this world..

Nope,

Pathway didn't return my calls and didn't respond to my emails, despite my being a 100% match to their requirements and immediately available for their job with 'immediate' interviews.

IMHO their job ads are a fiction to trawl in CV's.

Once they have done this, only if they suss that you will work for 30% below the 'going rate' will they deal with you.

class, my very own thread - this is the stuff of which dreams are made.

FYI - all the jobs advertised are real, if you're good enough you may get an interview. However, a lot of people apply so you will have to be very good.

Isn't there a barrow boys forum should be lurking in, instead of spying on contractors.

i don't think there is, and i don't have the knowledge or motivation to find one.

Hang about.

There is supposed to be a skills shortage. So why are you getting so many applications and why are the applicants so rubbish?

Something doesn’t ring true.

I’m glad that I don’t have to bother with all this anymore.

He's an agent, a parasite. What do you expect.

146, 96, 54, 121, 76 - number of responses i have had for each advert.

there is not a skills shortage in testing.
