What is it with Agencies and...

[Drewster]

I am actually surprised that they are still in business to be honest.

I don't think Agencies are in business to be honest........ I think its to make money

Someone once told me never to sit down whilst doing a telephone interview, always stand. I can't remember why this is, although he did elaborate.

It has worked for me though although it may well be just coincidence though...

I do find it easier to talk business whilst standing up on the phone and tend to do it automatically.

I suppose it's a form of "thinking on your feet"

I find it so too. And have some useful phrases written down in front of you in case you dry up: especially if it's in another language. Plus your CV of course, and a very short precis of it, and any other stuff like a data model etc.

The only good news I managed to squeeze out of them is that the client may consider taking me on next month when the other analyst leaves.

I am asking myself why are they leaving?

Maybe you are more cost effect (Cheaper) then them?

Just because people are leaving the client, it doesn't mean that the client is cr*p. In this particular occasion, the client is a major outsourcing company in Bracknell. I'll leave you to guess who it is.

I always make all of my important business calls on my feet with a headset or speakerphone.

It's in Bracknell. That's why people are leaving, although Saturday night is "Date Rape Night" at Toxins night club...

Agencies don't want to do business. They want to enforce their will on both clients & contractors, screw them over & run.

It's true, for me at least.

I have always naturally felt the urge to stand up and walk around as soon as a business call begins. I've tried staying sat down but the call is always more of a success if I stand.
