    Do you mean "Is it just I" rather than "Is it just me"? If the former then I would respond:

    Clients, I find, generally have an eighth to a tenth of my experience and are not capable of judging the skills in the candidate that they think that they are looking for. So their feedback is nugatory and I don't get annoyed.

    Agents won't spend their time "chasing" a client that has rejected the original poster because they don't operate within the original poster's realm of morality. More specifically the agents' position is, "If you've not got the gig, F*** off."

      Yes be very careful if the agent does ring you after the interview for feedback on how much you give away as like someone said its all extra info they can pass onto the next person before they go in which might given them the advantage.

      I am always positive but quite vague and another reason for this is I don't want to sound too keen for if I want to negotiate if I get it.
