LD, on facebook and tbh the person didn't much lke salespeople either which makes me wonder lol. My sales wasn't that extensive and it's a bit dishonest for my liking...but my home city is full of these types of roles.Last edited by Would rather not be named; 14 December 2015, 19:49.

Imagine that a level up i.e. you failed a while back via agency a and you also got the opp with agency b sometime down the line. So far so mundane...
My story however...bet people can't top this tale of woe lol. An assignment comes to an end in odd circs, 3 days training and 2 days work. I thought I was doing ok but somebody clearly differed. But that's not the half of it...from this agency now twice they have contacted me about a role, another consultant...guess which role it is, the same role I got the old heave ho from this very same agency...confused I sure am you should be!
This happened to anyone before? Same agency putting you forward for same role you were sacked from within only 2-3 months...or is someone taking the p?

LucidDementia reminds me of someone...someone based on his posting style. Someone I knew in real life or on fb at least posting style seems similar...but I am sure it isn't!
Which one is it? Real life or FacePlant?
I don't mix much withspivssalespeople so seems unlikely.

How bad do you have to be to be sacked in this game? Turn up every day, spend 8 hours on CUK, go home, invoice and repeat. It's obviously what everyone else is doing.

Well this is true yeah but a role you've been sacked from via same agency lol? Bit crap/nuts/desperate who knows.

I am niche so quite often get approached by three or four agencies for the same role, the best was I was approached to apply for a role I had just turned down an extension for.

Remember an agent would sell their grandmother if they could make money.
