I feel the OP's pain however, Blocked number, no voicemail left, you know its a fisherman.
Voicemail left, email recieved and your phone going off again 30 minutes later, you know its a real job.

Seconded. I have my phone set to auto-divert all unknown callers straight to voicemail since almost every single one of them has been an agent fishing for leads or prior rates.Originally posted by spongeym View PostI've noticed a recent trend where any agent that calls me from an Unknown number is tulip
Best part, since these clowns don't leave any messages, I don't have to waste time clearing my VM inbox out. Win/win!

It winds me up a treat too! I've noticed a recent trend where any agent that calls me from an Unknown number is tulip.
For me, real agents call from a number you can call back on and actually remember your CV.
Had one clown call me up today (unknown number) to see if I wanted a contract at the same flaming client I'm already at!!

Agents who wont leave VM!
WTF is that all about?
They phone your number then dont leave VM! I mean how long does it take to leave a simple message saying 'Sorry you werent available, I've moved on to someone else'?
A lot less time than actually speaking to you, asking how your day is, how are you finding the market and what's your availability, FFS.Tags: None
