I don't understand, why all the excuses?
Why not just say "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the job anymore."Comment

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI had an issue with an agent a while back. I did a 10 minute phone interview, didn't like the client and told the agent so.
I was on another client site. Went for a meeting for an hour.
Six missed calls. Phone went again, I answered it was the agent offering the contract. Need you there day after next blah blah.
I said no and asked for another £100 per day. Ten minutes later. Yes. OK!
I was trying to hold off another contract and told her it would take a couple of days and said 12 on Friday. She phoned me 18 times in two days. I had to turn my phone off.
Eventually I agreed to do it. I hated it. Gave notice six weeks into it. First impressions were right. *******!
Just be firm. 'Not interested' and if necessary put the phone down. I hate pushy *******.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
