    Oh it's the other one.

    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

            I imagine pimps fight over the good contractors, that there is some sort of pecking order. Clearly, you're one of the scraps for the noobs to practice on.

              Really? You don't think they just do as little as possible, match some keywords, pump cvs around and snort their earnings?

                It depends. If they work on commission I can certainly see why they good ones are passing on your CV to the new-uns.

                  No, I'd like to take a massive pay cut and have regular one to ones and 360 degree peer reviews. So glad you asked, I've seen what I'm missing.
                  This is the only one that really annoys me, but even then they are clearly desperate and taking a flyer that you might be interested.

                  The rest.... well there are so many lying, chancers out there, I actually don't blame agents for wanting to hear a bit of confidence in your voice as you describe what is in your CV.

                    Yeah seem to be getting a load of these and they dont have a clue, the questions they ask are deffo coming off a script and always the same ones.

                    Whats your availability?
                    How long have you used this? (read my fricking CV)
                    Do you know about this product (yeah it s the one abbreviated, just send my CV over and the employer will know)
                    etc etc etc

                    Then they either ask you to hold and put you straight through to the account manager or they say they will pass it over. Dont see the point of employing them personally

                      Someone on here agrees with me

                      Is this a CUK first?

                      Can we be bezzies?
