    Agreed, can't hurt, so one done already the other I will consider the guy seemed a bit "old school", thanks for advice.

      I couldn´t agree more with you Craig. Sometimes youve got to
      ´think outside the box´to get yourself noticed these days.
      Theirs only one caveat I wish to add. If the Interviewer was
      a lady, send her a box of Milk Tray as well.

        There's

        Simply because it sounds similar to there and they're the word their isn't interchangeable with them it's a totally different meaning.

        Agents are simple and single minded folks, they're looking to fill the role they have and really don't care that much if it's not your thing, many of them would rather call you (it makes them look busy in their office) than spend any time reading your CV.

          Here's another one who take's NO account of the time it was
          posted, namely 4am in the morning. Have a heart Mate !!!
          As most contractors know, this is about the time you come
          home Brahms and Liszt, after a spot of Networking at the
          Recruitment Agencies get together party.

            Every one of your posts you use Their and variants. This is the professional part of the forum, best to at least make the effort to write in legible English so people can understand.
            Posting in General while hammered is one thing, in the professional sections, not so good.

                Be thankful - I'm not posting from my I-Phone. In view of
                the above comments. I'm going to use short cut English
                from now on. B4 I get a first class hangover from last night.
                So lets rub it in.

                Even if I don't talk/write proper - Who said that the Class War was
                over in the UK. I love my Scouse accent and proud of it !!!!!
                So their !!!!

                  Therefore include the following in your Search on Jobserve. Namely
                  Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland ( yes you can get in their as well although not EU ) Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland and Sweden.

                  See what you come back with ????
                  Not at all, I was just trying to highlight that a little bit of market research wouldn't hurt before giving up on the UK contract market.

                    If you write in sloppy lazy English then that's how you come over and it tends to spill over into professional work. It's not uncommon to see poor English in official documents and on the BBC these days.

                    It's nothing to do with a working class background, it's about taking at least a little pride in how you present yourself, maybe that's part of the reason you're a bench warmer.

                      Like hell it isn't - anyway thanks for the tirade Margo Leadbetter !!!!

                      I've think were all browned off with the p&q lessons, don't
                      you.

                      Please Sir, Can I go to the toilet !!!!
