Agency 'Account Manager'!

[BolshieBastard]

WTF. Pisses me off no end when agent calls you bout a role you've applied for and how you see yourself fitting in, experience blah, blah, blah.

You spend 10 minutes on the phone then it turns out you're just yapping to a drone and they'll pass your details to the 'account manager.'

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH HH!

Why not get the ******* 'account manager' to speak to me instead (yes I know the drone is supposed to be a filter but they are phoning me!) It wasnt a phishing exercise either cos they didnt ask for references or stuff about current \ previous client.

and whenever an agent says they'll "put me forward" I always clarify whether they're putting me forward to the account manager or the actual end client - if you're not careful you can miss the opportunity to go via another agent.

Mind you, it doesn't take me more than a couple of minutes - if that - to spot I'm talking to a drone now. So I simply ask them to "get someone in charge" to phone me back.
