    What is it with clients/agents fannying around at the mo?

    Jeez. It gets worse....

    Phone interview arranged today. No call.

    Been trying to get hold of agent to see whats happening. As you can imagine, not phoning me back. Looks very much like role has been filled/canned and that phone interview was cancelled.

    But it seems like agent couldn't be arsed to tell me. Very rude indeed.

    You have just been saved from a tulip client and agent.

      One way of looking at it :-)

      Would rather the contract (and the money).

        Then you get them when they phone days later at a different time and expect you to drop everything for an interview
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          The recent graduates start their pimpery careers this time of year. They are always given a list of hopeless cases to hone their technique on.

              Still, it must look pretty impressive if you get a call duing an interview with a job centre adviser.

                It is just how agents work. If you can't deal with it go perm.

                More endless moaning from PC in professional forums. Business as usual I see.

                    I just got an email from an agent I've dealt with before, simply says;

                    Hi Stek, you interested in a contract?

                    End of email...
