Depends which agency, sometimes it can be until after the start date, they should be able to e-mail you a copy so you can have a quick look before the hard copy comeswhats the lowest you can do this for?Comment

I got a copy before the interview (it's CP). I'm just very pessimistic and worried that the agent told me I got the job just to get references, I need to lighten up a bit and stop worrying.Comment
