Agent rang me three times, second time I mentioned we'd already spoken, after the third time where again she hadn't realised she had already spoken to me I figured not bothering with the gig was a good idea.
Not to mention it was a p!ss poor rate and only 3 days a week, which would work out at 2 days after travel and accommodation costs.
How about getting that gig and keep looking around?! Summat is better than nowt innit?

Considering the agent sounded incompetent and not only rang me three times and didn't realise she'd already spoken with me, she also e-mailed me 4 times, the job spec was vaguer than vague and she didn't appear to know my name even though she phoned me.
It was also a bob agency which sets my alarm bells ringing and the two days a week income would not cover my monthly salary and bills.
In cloggers because of my expat tax ruling I have to pay myself a proper salary, not what you do in the UK where it's a negligible salary and then bumped up with dividends.
