    Good strategy.

      I rang to discuss the situation, basically the client had given no indication of the rate to the agency. As it happens they put 12 CVs forward and client has taken an interest in only 2 of them. The good news is I'm one of them!*

      Happy with rate, happy with result.. just gotta nail the interview now.

          Is that with agent A or agent B?

            Agent A.. with original agreed rate. I was happy with the conversation regarding how they came to the rate, and my mind was settled upon the news that I had been selected by the client for a meeting.

            Got another call almost straight after and potentially another interview lined up for another gig (more money, but shorter term and further to travel) so has been a successful day on the job hunt side.
