Correct response isOriginally posted by Swamp Thing View PostThis one, by email last week:
"If we haven't spoken for a while, I might not be sending you roles that are as well matched as they could be. So I can recommend the most suitable vacancies, please let me know:
- are you looking for work?
- have you interviewed recently? If so, where was it and how did you get on?
- are you immediately available for work or on notice period?"
Weellll, let me think on that one.
"If we haven't spoken for a while, I might not be sending you CVs that are as well matched as they could be to available roles. So I can apply for the most suitable vacancies, please let me know:
- do you have available roles?
- have you had contractors interviewed recently? If so, where was it and who was the hiring manager?
- what rate is the client willing to pay and what is your mark up?"

And this one by txt 2 days' ago:
"Hi Swamp, I hope you're well. It has been a while since we last spoke. Keen to catch up. Please give me a call on [number]."
If you're that keen luv, why don't you actually call me??
I don't use the pimps involved. I know the market is challenging, but come on.Tags: None
