Informative - what's going on?

"Following your recent application for the position I am writing to inform that this role is on hold subject to future a consultation with the programme director.

Thank you for your interest and we will be in touch if it becomes live again or with other suitable roles"

I don't get it, unsolicited helpful information willingly passed on without prompting from an agent. Does not compute....

Newbie agents try to be polite and do things by the book. They will soon learn to become like other agents....

The Mayans were right!

Actually, despite some time spent foiling with agents this week, it's been generally OK on the communications front my end. One gig that came up last week through an agency I haven't dealt with before, and that I've just been offered today, also came up through a second agent that I know better. I wasn't able to be represented for the role by the second agent that I know better as I was already in through the first lot, but he did provide some useful info unprompted about the role I secured this week nonetheless.

An agent to whom I applied for a contract sent me an email attaching a load of other candidates CVs.

Was it our very own DA?

I've not had that. But I have been subjected the old "To instead of BCC field" cock-up by an agent. It was quite revealing about the somewhat, er, casual e-mail addresses that some contractors use as their professional contact address!

Guilty as charged ....

My contact email address needs sorting out: ilikebigbutts@hotmail.com doesn't make the best first impression.

That'd have been one of the tamer ones! It was amazing how many of them appeared to use their e-mail addresses as a means of telling other people about their perception of the size of their John Thomases. Or perhaps they were just warning agents about their personalities. It was hard to tell.
