    What do agents do on a Monday?

    Ever had a phone call from an agent on a Monday (whether it be fishing or a genuine role) ??????

    Surely they don't drink that much at the weekend?

      Recruitment is a high-turnover business.

      Most recruitment agents get fired at least once a week and have to start a new job the following week.

      Hence they usually spend Mondays being given a tour of their new office, waiting for a login to the email system etc.

        I got one today.

        Was the new girl in the office being given some randoms that they are not to fussed about to phone.

        She got a 3/10. Her "what site are you on routine" was a little obvious so I didn't give her any info.

                    All 3 of the agents I'm dealing with about jobs at the moment are female and surprisingly all of them are very pleasant and easy to deal with. When I got an offer on Friday for one of the roles and mentioned it to another agent she did admittedly try a very artless "which company did you say you got the offer from?". When I gave my reply of "I didn't say" at least she had the decency to laugh & acknowledge she was busted
