Daftest question from an agent?

Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostAgent called me - asked if I had a family or a pet. He was checking out my willingness to travel.
He asked how I would feel about travelling to Newquay - not a problem I reply, there is a train from my home town that goes there, provided the role suits and ther rate is okay.
Half an hour later he said the role was in Milton Keynes. So, why ask me about travel to Newquay?
Had a chutney spooner on Friday commiting to a rate before he talks about the role.
This used to be a straightforward game. I am honestly thinking about working in B&Q.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Few months ago - Agent: "Do you want to work for a brilliant client where the work is interesting and you'll be wanting to go to work every day?"
Umm. Me: "Whats the role, rate and location?".
Agent: "/crap rate, Neath, South Wales"
Me: "Thanks for the interest but that's a bit low for me."
Agent (throwing toys out of the cot): "Well my client is looking for quality people and doesn't want people like you anyway if you can't see past the rate and see how good they are"
