Just forget about it and get cracking with the next batch of applications, if you are the person they want you will get a call. If not don't lose any more sleep over it, just keep plugging away and creating more opportunity for yourself.

Exactly! He wants you to think there are 350 others clammering for the job so he'll be able to sh@ft you on the rate. Dont believe anything a pimp tells youOriginally posted by PRC1964 View PostNever believe what the agent has told you.
It's in his interest to make you think there are 350 others.
Good luck to you and your company.

My chances of employment in contracting are looking very dim at the moment
