Off The Bench

Lots of calls from AgencyA, send us an E-Mail about what has happened and we can probably secure you an interview slot with the client for tomorrow. Oh, yes... as if that is going to happen.

Can you imagine turning up for an interview and meeting the client, the embarrasement, b*gger that, our self pride is a lot more important.

If they want you that much they will inform the agency, I'm not going to go through that hardship so the agency gets their placement... But AgencyB, have truely been underhand and B*st*rds just to make a killing with their competitors. Umm, sometimes we are slaves at the market to them. Ok, rant over.

Back to opening another 'tinny'

Oh yes - which is why a) my CV is PDF'd, so no cretin can change it b) has in big bold letters "You must not sent this to any client without my express permission" on it and c) I will never agree to my CV being sent without knowing who the client is. Ever.

I've seen it all, both as an employer and as someone looking for employment.

Useful tips - having not had to have initial dealings with an agency for over three years now (two years in agency contract, subsequently approached directly by clients) I shall bear this in mind if I find myself going through the agency mill again
