    No Agency Calls

    March this year i was due to finish my contract and so did the usual ringing around usual contacts to see if there are any roles and searching on the net. Got plenty of call backs. Got contract (12 month) am now about 7 months in and i haven't had a single call from an agency asking if i'm avaliable.

    Start of the year i was getting loads is this a good thing or bad.

    I like to think good as i'm not being pestered but also now thinking bad cause it must mean i'm not coming up on their system when searching for avaliable contractors

    Anyway back to reviewing my document ZZzzzzzzzzz
    Thats the way the cookie crumbles

    They seem to have stopped doing that, for some reason.

    The only calls I have had have been a small handful of junior clerical roles (huh? WTF is that about?). I ask them to read out the first line of my CV and they say "Oh, I didn't read that, you just came up on a search". Some years ago I worked on a Document Management System, they seem to assume that means I'm now a filing clerk.
    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
