Your last gig

[GazCol]

I did a data migration in one area of a large business and another business within the same group snapped me up on the back of that contract.

Despite applying online for quite a few, my two contract roles and my last permie role were all from an agent calling me. To my knowledge, none of the roles were advertised in any meaningful way.

Gig that finishes today, unsolicited agency phone call.
Job that starts a week Monday, JobServe.

Jobsite...applied.....agent called.....met the Client....started shortly afterwards

Applied for it on Jobserve, pimp turned me down straight away as not suitable. Contacted HR at client via LinkedIn. Got the role direct for more money than pimp was offering, almost 2 years later I am still there

Jobserve for this one.
Regular agent contact for the one prior to this. Although, in fairness to jobserve, he did get my details from there in the first instance so they ought to get the credit for that one as well.

Did you send the pimp a bottle of champagne and an ironic thankyou note "I earn one of these everyday out of the money you would have made"?

The pimp did contact me about a month later with a 'role I would be perfect for' (which btw was less of a fit than the one he turned me down for!). I had great delight in informing him why I wasn't available

How did he react? Did he try and pull the "introduction" card at all?
