Severely pee'd off an Agent

[Ticktock]

I wish I knew what that (presumably) term of abuse stood for

If you don't know then you're clearly NCOTPOTF.

MF saw you in your shreddies?

Its reasonably easy to get an agent narked, just start a thread here along the line of praising the EU, or global warming or the joy of lefty liberalism and I'm sure one will pop up...

This is part of the reason they ask the "are you interviewing anywhere else", "if offered, would you take it" type questions.

They don't want to waste their time and their clients which is fair enough to be honest.

What they shouldn't do is get angry about it and berate you.

They meant that you had put on a couple of stone since they last saw you, not that you had fundamentally changed personality you muppet!!!

This is the business we're in Mikey

Yep. And it's not personal, it's strictly business.

Pimps know that.

**** them. Always find it unreasonable for an agent to expect that you're sitting there, applying for one gig at a time, looking out the window praying for them to call you back with your dream gig. Reality is everyone applies for loads of stuff. If two come good then good on you because you get to pick and choose.

Only been in situation once like this. But I phoned the agent and explained I had two offers and was not taking his clients offer. Compare with agent who has two candidates going for interview. Half of them don't even bother telling the unsuccessful one that they didnt get the gig.

Whats the difference? Do contractors ring up the agency and tell them they're never working in this town again because the client chose someone else? Cant have it all ways.
