Agency advice

[PorkPie]

Quite right. Only exception is for modelling work but I don't think many contractors here will be going down that route...

(Speaking for myself ofcourse)

I don't know Robin, I could see you on a Whiskas advert...

Thank you all.

Thank you all.

I did not expect such a "turn up" and must say that it cleared a few questions that I had.

Today I gave my notice actualy, so things are looking bright on the horizon

Cheers

As a general rule of thumb don't work with any agency associated with me as they have a weird tendency to go bust.

Top tip - find out who Windyanna is working through, and avoid them!

Take in from an agent...

Choose the agency that has the job you want. Speaking to an agent re them finding you a job is not really how it works.

Go here, pick something you like the look of and apply:

There are others, but most jobs repeat between boards and between them these two will have a large proportion of everything thats around. When you have found a job google the agency together with the word complaints to see if anyone is annoyed at them. E.g. Vivamex Complaints

If you want some go bust protection you might wish to insure against that or credit check the agency. If they come up bad on a credit check my advice would be to just go back to the boards and choose another job. They are like buses - another will be along shortly.

Always start from the job-u-like end though. I agree with what other contractors are telling you here.

...And no! - Don't ask us for a job. If you find one of ours that fits so be it, if not good luck. It's still the right way round to job spot first.
