I did create a thread on the topic of what phrases / indicators makes a gig smell bad, and arguably this was one of the less me-me-me, possibly actually a viable thread, thread I have ever created, but since it was created during the Kryten debacle it was slammed by the CUK U******** ™ brand




    This more "aggressive" form of marketing was in my repertoire some years back but I forgot it. Thanks so much for the reminder
    I will be more proactive.
    No it was slammed because it was a stupid thread. A stupid thread will be slammed regardless of whether it was created by You, me, Kryten, Uncle Tom Cobley, Sas or MF.

      Probably you should be applying for BA roles not JS ones.

      WHY have you applied for over 100 roles anyway? Is there a glut of gigs or are you actually super-desperate?

          Glut of gigs. My search params are strict. Hence the thread. with over 100 valid gigs I would expect AT LEAST ONE ******* PHONE CALL!!!!!!!

              Maybe he's been blacklisted since he keeps bailing on clients.

                      Chin up Suity. You know the drill, hundreds of apps every day, and you think nothing is happening and then bam bam ! you will get 3-4 offers in a matter of hours. Your next thread will be about the dilemma of choosing the right gig from the several you have on the table, mark my words.
