But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I've just had an agent phone me to say "the client has filled the role internally".
Not me phone and chase them, they voluntarily phoned me! I don't think that has happened before.
How bored must they be?Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

And when I did that, he phoned me to tell me that the client had changed the spec (last week) and that I wasn't suitable for this new spec.
he could have done the whole thing in one Phone call instead of two.
But then he wouldn't have got a CV with some new leads on it. Though quite how he thinks there are going to be any leads on it I can't understand. If any of the clients I have worked for over the past 10 years were currently recruiting I would be working there and not have been on the bench for three months!
