Had a call from agency on Friday for a role. They had found my CV and wanted to put me forward. I then get a call from the agent this morning stating that I don't have enough experience to be considered, as the client requires at least ten years in a specific discipline. Tried to make out it was my fault. What a bunch of useless, idiotic, web-toed, banjo-playing, inbred feck-wits! Didn't like it when I pointed out that THEY approached me after obtaining my CV from JS and decided I matched the client spec.
ARGH!!!!

Chill WS... At least you're not lying on the floor of a tube train with most of your skull splattered all over the walls.

Spod - In "Execution? Up the corridor, first door on the left" mode!

Only Michael Jackson is whiter than me, so there's little chance of being mistaken for a terrorist.

Who is it WS?

A certain agency is trying to pull the old "two references" trick with me at the moment. This same agency caught me out two years ago with the same thing - good contract, your CV is perfect, and oh, we need a couple of references.

SQ Computer Personnel. Never had a contract through them, but the few occassions I've dealt with them they've always demonstrated amazing stupidity. Unfortunately they appear to be BP's supplier of choice.
