Offensice is pretty much the default setting here - don't worry, they're mostly lonely and miserable.

be wary of companies like this. They don't even help in finding u a job. and they charge ridiculously large cuts ( i have heard as large as 15%). So ur take home after tax will be effectively halved

ay? sorry buff, but am not spamming, am a contractor (currently in the US) and foudn this lot useful (to an extent) when i was in the UK. yeah, they take a cut (have no idea how much) and i certainly didn't use them for that, but a free office (internet/phone/fax) is free, so y not? (or was it itjobswatch u were saying was spam?)

basically they provide the "free" office facilities when u sign up with companies like this. Once you sign up however u might have to pay them if u find a job all by urself. Thats what i am saying. I was almost lured into a company like this one. Shall I name and shame?

I am not saying that these guys are just as bad or anything...but be careful is what i am saying

Just a curiosity, what type of excuses do you guys make not to meet with agencies? So far I have met 3 agents and did not get any jobs off them. Always got a contract from other agencies or on my own.

'am busy doing [insert excuse here], can we just do this over the phone?' sometimes they ask for a face-to-face to assess your appearance (two so far have confessed to this) and one of the other excuses is to make you feel all warm and fuzzy so that if you're in the position to call on them (i.e. looking for a candidate) you will
