Agents like a contractor with a track record of extensions - effort-free commission churn for them.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Paying Devils advocate - How about I let every agent represent me for every role at every customer?
(... "as far as I recall I have not been put forward for this role already").
(... "they already have my CV? sorry about that, I must have forgotten")
After all - my objective is to get the gig - not stick to imaginary rules, that don't benefit me (as in this case).
Then when I'm successful, someone else can sort-out which CV arrived first.
(just asking)
