Had any of my clients asked how the agency got my DESK phone number It could have been seen to them they got it from my CV somehow. i.e. looked up my current job place, randomly phoned up the switchboard and asked for my name, just to try and get a contact name out of me so he can place more contractors in there.

    Hardly any benefit for me there
    who's proper channels? any salesmen worth their salt have their own "proper channels"
    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

      Well it doesn't do me any favors so I laugh and proclaim that the particular agent is a shameless salesman and should 'jog on son' a leave me to do some work
