      I think you forgot a statement or two there:

      Code:
       
                 CALL "AGENT-A-LIAR"
                     USING
                                   EXTREMELY
                                   STRONG
                                   LANGUAGE
                     GIVING
                                   SATISFACTION.
                 MOVE FIST TO AGENT-FACE.
                 PERFORM VIOLENCE UNTIL SATISFIED.

          I have had over the past week three emails from agents whom Ive worked with in the past (all for genuine active positions) in my field - however as I am booked up for the next nine months I've had to graciously decline.

          At least it indciates some kind of increase in demand - two out of the three are for the Financial sector - for what its worth.

                If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. There's no sense being a damn fool about it. WC Fields.

                  I've applied for six contract gigs and one permie role today.

                  I've had two calls from agents saying they will be calling me with dates/times for interviews - is is interesting and the other is utter pants (but I shall do it for the practice).

                  Now I'm of to the Job Centre to see if they will pay for me to do the Scrum Master course & exam. Don't ask, don't get...

                    Well! Got my 1st client interview from out of the blue.

                    Now I just have to prep before the call this afternoon.
