    Sounds more like cold, hard revenge than dodgy. I'm impressed.

    I think this might be a push at the moment - I had a long conversation with an agent from them this week, even though I told him early on that I wasn't looking for a new role. Sounded promising, and talked of actually having some kind of relationship rather than just pumping out CVs.

    Ended up with me asking him to send me a linked in request

    Another plus for Tek, and those at Aston Carter. Generally a good bunch.

The role isnt advertised anywhere. I feel like I am being represented by a proper agent, like a footballer's agent.

    I'd want to know before my cv was submitted somewhere - I take it he did that?
