    Happened to me at the end of last year - was offered a tasty role just before Xmas, only to be revoked between Xmas and New Year. Obviously brush down, move on etc but was pretty hacked off initally, as was the agent. But did move on and landed something just tasty in the new year.

    It isn't just the agents the revoke offers, the client often doesn't want the contractor for one reason or another and the agent suffers the same fate as we do. No good blaming the agent straight off.
    Agreed. Fair point.

    Fair what you say but that doesnt stop someone feeling pissed off by it. I know I would be.

    And what Mr Got In Too Late said is what I did before him but with more fluff.
