    Initial contact re contract

    Hi,

    I've just had an email from an agency asking me about a contract they have.

    Is it common for them to mention the name of the company you would be working at and is it a good sign that they really want you?

    Thanks,

    Some agents mention the name of the company others don't.

    However with the ones that don't you can often work out who the company is if the company is large enough or you have heard off them before through your networks.

    The only reason to know who the company is is to prevent another agent putting your name forward again.

      Thanks Sue Ellen,

      Apparently this agency is the sole agency for the company anyway.

      just been speaking to the guy from the agency and my cv is going forward. Apparently there are 2 posts and 4 cv's have been sent.

      here's hoping.....

        Fingers crossed for you - unless it's my job of course!

              If there are any members based on the Isle of Wight then get in touch. I don't know anything about the place.
