National Talk Like an Agent Day!

"I've got a great role, suits you perfectly....Oh, you're in conctract....what's your notice period"

Me: Go check my contract, I'm already contracting through you

[Mich the Tester]

You whining lefties should be grateful for rabidly right winged reactionaries like me as we've made you rich beyond your wildest dreams by handing you 75% of our rates.

(or was it supposed to be a generic 'agent' and not our very own resident CUK agent?)

My favourite:

"I have forgotten my wallet, if you get this I'll pop a cheque in the post to you as soon as I get beck to the office"

Followed by:

"Tell him I'm at a client meeting"

[darmstadt]

"How much?"

[pjclarke]

That role we advertised in Edinburgh that you're a perfect match for? Well you'll actually be working in Stirling, but it's only an hour away by train. We found when we put the actual location in the ad nobody was interested.

But, to be fair, that wasn't talking like an agent, that was an actual agent.

Hi, it's James frommumblymubleconsulting - I'm looking at a range of roles that you'd be great for!

[Mich the Tester]

Enjoy the game tomorrow; it might be tougher than the England camp seem to think.

Its a 12 month contract so client is expecting commitment from the contractor with a flexible rate (i.e. lower).

And promise you won't leave for a higher rate in a few months. (Yeh OK, if client promises that they won't cut rate/can me if they get financial issues in a few months).

"Can I speak to Ade Chiseller? It's about <a fictitious role>"

"He's on the other line but he'll call you back."
