Why do agents do this?

[Scary]

It's like asking why dogs lick their arseholes, they don't know any better.

Isn't it because they can?

I had an agent try and be smart with me last week on the phone during a convo about my CV by asking "So what experience do you have in IT Governance?".. to which I asked "In what aspect?"... he quickly shut up and changed the convo.

This was the same cowboy who left a message on my phone saying "call me ASAP about an urgent role I have for you".. then when I called him back he didn't know who I was or what he'd called me about, which turned into a 'non-job' phone-call.

That was your first mistake. They leave messages; if its really important they will try again.

No that's their balls, and the fact you cannot get dogs to use andrex no matter how much we shove in front of that puppies face.
