New agents tactic

[Mich the Tester]

Agent sends me a linkedin invitation saying she wants my CV as she's looking for testers/test managers etc. So I accepted. Can't do much harm. Then she sends me an e-mail with her electronic photo business card, which includes a picture of a very fit looking bird, leading me to believe it may be her, and saying she'd like to meet up to discuss opportunities for the future. I look at her company's website and the same photo of a really very attractive woman is next to her name and profile.

Now I don't usually have much time for this kind of thing from agents, but she really does look quite fit. What's the betting that if I accept her invitation to meet up she's probably an 18 stone fat bearded bloke with a nasty skin condition?

Oh come now, Dodgy is only 17 stone and although quite fat and acne-ridden is not that ugly,

[MaryPoppins]

She probably is v fit - most female agents I've met seem to be. Thick as pigshit: too, which seems largely irrelevant for what they're hired for.

[ThomasSoerensen]

Dodgy is back from "vacation" it seems.

[EternalOptimist]

only ever buy things from ugly people. that way you know that your weren't swayed by their looks.

also, if its a bird, make sure she's ugly with fried eggs boobies, just to be sure

Dear <agent>

having discussed your business card picture in private with selected members of the CUK congregation, I am happy to accept your invitation to meet up. Can I suggest a rather fine restaurant in my hometown, reputed to be the best restaurant in the Benelux? I'll book the table, and by the way, they have a small hotel with beds for guests.
