What would you do...

You forgot to tulip in his mouth.

No need. They talk it all the time.

Say yes, string them along and just don't turn up on the first day!

This isn't a contract role. I would still need to sign the company's contract (not the agency one). I am waiting for the company to call me later on and will tell the company the viewpoint that TAV came up with.

I don't understand, why all the excuses?

Why not just say "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the job anymore."

Because the agent won't take no for an answer. Seemples.

How about "look mate, I've said no, if you ring me again I will write '**** my mouth' followed by your phone number on every toilet wall I see between now and the day I die?"

I 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 *******.

I find your consistent modesty powerfully attractive.

Do you have any spare?

[The Agents View]

agent in "suggesting something useful" shocker!

I take it that you had successful results of doing this before?
