I'm sorry: this is my first post and I'm going to have a good rant.
Sorry again.
In October last year, SmallAgency contacted me about a contract.
The job spec was pretty generic and SmallAgency told me they
weren't allowed to tell me the name of the client. I let them go
ahead and submit my CV. I heard nothing more and forgot about it.
At the end of February this year, LargeAgency contacted me about
a contract. The job spec was pretty generic and LargeAgency weren't
allowed to tell me the name of the client. The client were interested,
and I interviewed for the contract. The next day, LargeAgency
sent me an offer, which I accepted. LargeAgency told me that the
actual contract would be issued the next week. And then nothing
happened. LargeAgency told me that Client had encountered 'problems
getting sign-off on the purchase order for the contract'. They're
still telling me the same to this day, > 2 months later. Meantime,
speaking to SmallAgency about something else, it turns out that the
two contracts were the same one. Shortly after I got offered the
contract via LargeAgency, SmallAgency visited Client, got wind of the
fact that they'd interviewed me via LargeAgency, and kicked up a fuss
about it. Presumably, Client then walked away from the contract.
GRRRR.
