          Yeah, I'm sure they check the recently uploaded CV's when a job comes in. I do it every week if I'm looking for work, otherwise the calls seem to dwindle away after a couple of weeks.

              How are you finding things? I had a busy week last week - turned down one offer as it would not cover the childminders fees, came back with a better offer which I accepted and never heard back

                It's been a bit quiet lately but I've got an interview lined up on Monday (for a gig I don't really want ) and I'm waiting to hear back about a possible gig for less money in the City (which I would probably take because of location, experience etc).

                    It's funny, that. You start to get insights into how these agents work.
                    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
