    Not if you've gone as far as an interview it's not. That is a business meeting.

    The agent's behaviour is appalling.

    And I bet you're still waiting!

    As for an alternative ID on this forum, nope. Not my game at all.

    I'd be tempted to call the client and say the agent hasn't been back to you yet, you haven't been able to contact them, and have you got the job? At least if the client says no, we rejected you, it lets the client know what a tulipe agency they are.

    Or toilet roll centres.
    Wouldn't toilet roll centres have been good for data files/bases?

    But I'd understand if you didn't use them - I'd heard that Giant Alien Lizards wipe their arses with emery cloth.

    Unless the client feedback indicates you were useless, agents almost always do that, in the hope that they can line up another interview by the time they give you the bad news about the previous one. It's not altruism on their part, just a desire to keep you at their disposal so to speak.
