Oh, sorry. That did hurt my eyes, but I was reading too much into the background context.

I don't understand the post. Did you get the role and then found out you didn't really?

Barrow-boys in suits. Still, being an agent gives people something to do if they're not able to get into estate agency

It was Gibbs S3. Apart from that email it wasn't the worst interaction with an agent I've ever had.

Impressed by my lack of bench time? If you're not going for the same clients as me then you'd be comparing apples with oranges.

You should send a copy by snail mail to the agency MD.

Anyway, in following up with an agent on one of the roles, I dropped them an email that asked for an update as I’d not heard back in a day or so. Here is the reply:

“Unfortunately you was rejected on the role that we sent you for, they was filled with another candidate”

Awesome. Just awesome.

Should have forwarded it to the client while thanking them for their time, by accident of course
