    only the full service including the "Accountants Audit" would have swung it for me.

      Agent 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.
      Shouldn't they be more concentrated on finding the right candidate, and leave the pets question up to him or her? Oh, no, hang on, we're dealing with real morons here. Sorry, Agents. Spot the difference...
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        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"

        Twat.

            Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

              I would ask first about the role in detail and see if is an interesting role, instead of the rate.
              The question is moronic and answer from the agent it’s not professional. Why he called you?

                Clients are nobheads, agents are twats, fellow contractors are idiots, client permies are whatever you called them last.

                Everyone has a name.... But you. Damn you must be good.

                  About a role in Neath.

                      Sorry to hear that. Afraid I didnt even get as far as the client name.

                      But the rate was 50% of normal. Crap even for wales.
