f'kin agents!

[Sockpuppet]

Why not answer the f'kin question!! All I want to know is if the role is ok based on the rate - but this guy won't tell me what it is.

Dont get me started.

One agent phoned me up:

Agent: "got a job for you in Kent"
Me: "whats the rate"
Agent: "its a range...based on experiance"
Me: "ok what's the range"
Agent: "How about you go for the role and we'll discuss that when the time comes"
Me: "(want to get off phone) ok"
Agent: "now when you meet the client dont ask how much the role pays...it makes you look desperate"

I found out before going to the interview that the job was £13k a year. I mean WTF? Can he not read on his system (I was doing some proper work for a colleague of his) the words "current rate is around £230/day ex VAT"

How can anyone in thier right mind think....er lets see if he wants a 13k a year role....I could earn more than that shelf stacking and in cheaper places than kent.

I just found out how much I am giong to be paying the people in a new warehouse I am going to be opening. £2.58 an hour. On a 40 hour week that barely registers for tax (if it were in the UK).

Dont know what they are maining about..I only get marginally more than that

'Cos he doesn't want you to find out (or guess) what the client is willing to pay him.

If I were to hazard a guess he's looking to get a number of asking rates and he'll choose the lowest to submit - it makes FA difference to the rate he'll charge the client. As its a 'junior' role (he reasons) you'll only need to be able to type stuff into MS Project and turn up for the many, many meetings on time so it doesn't really matter if the best candidate gets the job.

Or is it just me???

Ask him/her for the junior spec and see how he responds. That way you'll know if it really is a junior role or whether they consider you cheap labour for disporportionately high EB fees.
