    Agents attitude takes the biscuit :-(

    Get loads of emails from agents. Some I respond, some I don't.
    If its wildly out of my skillset, geographical area I don't bother.

    Sometimes I will respond if its in my area, or I know the agent, or think they might have stuff in the future. It might be sorry not available at the moment, or sorry doesnt meet my rate. Just to be polite.

    So I get this. First thought was you cheeky twat. I politely decline and you accuse me of being a moneygrabber who the client wouldnt be interested in anyway. Crack on then fella and good luck getting someone to do the gig for the love of it.


    Hi Psycho,

    If rate is the most important factor for you then I doubt this would be the right role anyway. My client look for candidates to look beyond just what they take home.

    All the best,

    Kind Regards

    Agent

    Ah yes. Probably £75-£100 a day less than normal for me I'm afraid.

    I believe the rate is lower than what you are looking for if my memory serves me correctly. £x-£y per day.

          Nahhj.. . A money grabber is someone that thinks 72 quid a week is worthwhile... Oh hang on....

          We'd quite happily accuse you of other things if that was the point of the post. If it wasn't can someone explain to me what the point of it is?

                    Dear Pimp

                    I look for contracts with clients that want to and can afford to pay the going rate. I look far beyond clients that can't see the value in paying for experts, if I wanted to devote myself to an employer and become poor I would become a permie.

                    Love PC

                    As I said to one Pimp, "can you see the words 'Registered Charity' on my CV?"
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
