5 mins i can do. But the list of questions they have is never ending. First fishing call took me over 15 mins. -
Tell them you have 5 mins tops or you are putting phone down. They will speed it up a bit I am sure.Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View Post5 mins i can do.

Agreed. Take control of the conversation and tell them what YOU want.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostNot sure what the problem is here? I am quite happy to take some fishing calls from agents. At least I am on their books and radar.
If they have to pester me 15 times and then one day it actually falls right and they help me get a contract then I am quids in.
Rather put up with a couple of 5 min calls from time to time and land a role than not at all.Comment
