    A list of your uses please. How are you usable?
    DA has been known to review CVs for regulars, and to offer advice on industry trends.

    For no money. (I'm not sure if I still owe him a large whisky, however...)

      In true agent style, when he said he'd review mine, I never heard from him again...

              Agents don't provide services to contractors. It's the other way round. I generally supply my services to other clients, so why not do the same?

                I did. I asked him to review it, he said OK. I sent it over, and never heard a word.

                Not that I'm bitter about being let down by an agent
