Wet behind the ears new agents

[PinkPoshRat]

Is it me, or is there a sudden increase in newly recruited agents?

I'm being hit by the time-wasting calls from agents asking me how I'm finding the job market, and have I got any interviews lined up etc. Oh and who was my last line manager....All the usual guff.

Anyone else getting these calls?

Yep I'd say I got 30 calls yesterday, 90% an utter waste of my time. I even got a conman trying to sell me his contractors course, for a nominal fee.

I like the fact that Agents are now pissing each other off, just got wind of an Agent pretending to be a contractor to hustle info out of other agents

I think you will find even the experienced agents are asking these questions not just the foetal ones, or so I have noticed ever since I started contracting.

I don't know! His name was Lawerence Perry from CatchFriday, and for a small fee would help me understand how to improve my cv. I had gotten it all wrong! The profile section should actually be underneath the skills section...

How to grow a beard and be a boring tw*t

It was an agent offering to teach it. I guess agents have the best experience of being boring tw*ts to teach the subject.
