    Mind you it might not be a bad Idea.... Get the applicant to register with Orange Genie or something ?

    Its just the enhanced CRB that needs to be done
    Grommit,

    As a point of principle I never tout for business on this site. However my conscience cannot bear to stand the sight of you suffering. I have the answer to your problem so please email me on [email protected]

    Anyway my flatmate is a temp and goes thru a lot of temp agencies and as far as I can tell from her stories they are as bad if not worse than "our" agencies.
    Thanks for the heads up...

    And PS I have been contracting for 5 years... (at the same place)

    I can't help but post on this board all day long. It's the only social interaction I get. I have no friends and women are wary of me.

    I have been on a .Net training course

    A quick look on jobserve should yeild some agencies interested in your business. Try keywords "monkey boy" or "tulipekicker".

    Yea right... this is a junior job... IE repairing PC's, Putting Mice and Keyboards on...

    With this job you gain experiance and therefore a better job in future.. shelf stacking and flipping burgers ain't gonna get you anywhere... LOL

    So which agency do I use ?
