    3rd level contact for me via my current agent and some of his contacts.

    Dodgy, get rid of the trees .com link on your linked in profile, it links to a non-existant website

    I like the pic though, it says sucessful Tory supporter to me.

      Here is a picture of it without the unconvincing photoshop job and surprisingly sharp shadow for such a cloudy day:

      good background work but surely then they would answer "fu kim"

        Dodgy, on linkedin, you need to either remove the first link for your company website (the .com trees one, not the .co.uk) as it links to a page that is under construction or get the site built, as it's the domain name for your email address.

        For me, if a new agent sends me a mail, the first thing I do is take the domain name part of it and do some background looking for that co, it doesn't give a good impression if that domain links to a non existing site.

        FFS, if you've had the company for 6 years according to LinkedIn, how long does it take to build a website?

        I like the pic though, it says sucessful Tory supporter to me.

        Done it chef. As for the website yes the company is new but it is still my business though I have changed the model. On linkedin I want to give the hew business a sense of longevity. The branding has not been in sync with the actual activities for quite some time and I want to change this.

          I think it's now clear that this slip up by by DA was a cunning ruse to get more contacts from a group of contractors that he secretly admires and respects.



          Come on Dodgy, how many new contacts do you have as a result of this?

            I now know the names of at least 6 of you. The challenge is guessing which one relates to which member

                Is this on your profile?



                I have been asked to connect with a Bosnian ex army surveillance man. The question is why?
                Although I need people with investigation skills - he wouldnt know that - this may be a bit more than I bargained for.
                In his profile he describes himself as

                Over 19+ years of experience in military, intelligence and security operations environments with demonstrated success. Operational and tactical planning, logistical management, counter surveillance, protective sweeps, advances, detail formations and armored vehicle motorcade movements in support of protective security operations.

                On the other hand this time next year I might have my own motorcade and be grateful for someone like him
