Earliest call from an agent??

[Wilmslow]

Had a phone call at 7:20am asking me to join a phone interview at 8:30.

India is obviously very much awake.

Anyone had an earlier call, or an interview with less notice??

[LucidDementia]

I've had earlier calls, but only because many of my contacts know I'm a 6am loony.

As for the notice I'd tell them to jog on - 70 minutes is simply unacceptable. Depends how desperate you are for a contract though I suppose.

India like calling me on Bank holidays, there as UK agents like calling me on the weekend when I'm inebriated.

What is this? A test stress!

Do you have time to prepare the meeting?

I would say that I have already an appointment and ask to book for the next day.

"It's Oh sixth thirty and what does the Oh stand for?"...

[Wilmslow]

It should be a walk in the park - tulip money, half what I am on now, but the gig is 10 minutes walk from my home in my home town, so would be an easy way to set off the new year.

I had a call from the US once at 10pm asking for an interview on the spot - with three G&T's I asked them to call the following day. Not heard back from them since.

We lead a very random life in this game. Is it really worth it?? Surely we should all be awarded honoury psychology degrees with what we do?

It is the time now to lick the chutney spoon with the telephonic interview in my good name. Oh, joy.....

Well, I joined, but listening to piano music for the last 10 minutes - nobody else has joined the call!

This is not a good morning.......

Really? I'd already be raising an invoice.

[Wilmslow]

Really? I'd already be raising an invoice.

I may well do just that..... There are three agents in the mix, not even getting close to chatting with the end client at present.

Quite entertaining, but incredibly incompetent business practice.
