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"

The question is moronic and answer from the agent it’s not professional. Why he called you?
If I let every agent with a gig this side of the border waffle on about how good the gig is then to find out its paying less than half market rate, I'd spend hours on the phone every day. Not saying Im not flexible for local stuff etc but if its so far below that its a piss take then why waste everyones time?
This guy knew he was trying to polish a turd here. Who knows maybe I was his last chance to talk someone into it?Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

I just can't get my head around the concept.
Though if it's offering minimum wage it might just make sense.
For Neath, like.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
