Last couple of days have been crazy with the number of agency anglers calling. Usual CP suspects plus some obscure agencies. Naturally I don't share anything with the cretins, but there has certainly been an increase lately. Sign of roles being thin at the moment?

Odd you should say that, I'm finding it very busy. Had four interviews last week and three this. Now its just a question of picking the client. Agents calling with roles I know exist because I have ex-colleagues there. I guess different skills have different seasons.Comment

Milan's right. I haven't been called in weeks. But during the summer, I was. And the spring.
Anyway agents. We all know what they're up to, we have to work with them still, so there you go. Let's stop whingeing and since we need them to find contracts, let's get along with them and play their little games. It's not as if we don't know the rulesChico, what time is it?Comment

I disagree with that. We don't need them in the truest sense. We are increasingly forced to work with them as they whisper in the ear of the client, making them believe the only viable option is to use a middle man.Originally posted by Rebecca LoosAnyway agents.

The alternative is to operate like a real business and work direct.Comment
