How many dead agents can you fit in your garage?



Probably another two if I move my bike

Why is your bike in my garage? I don't understand.

What do you call 1000 dead agents at the bottom of the sea?
A good start!

There is no such thing as a decent agent.

They are all self serving, procrastinating, lying twats.

HTH

I'm sure that's true, in the same way contractors are all self-serving, overpaid, arrogant, greedy and too dysfunctional to cope with a chain of command.

Try stepping outside the bubble once in a while

Have you been drinking MrMark?

[Spacecadet]

And how many agents do you deal with at the moment?

Just 3
if things don't work out with them then i'll carefully pick 3 more. Taking special care to make sure that they are professionally accredited and specialise in the correct industry and tech sectors

Oooh - aren't you all cynical these days.

And how many agents do you deal with at the moment?

[MrMark]

and then you woke up?

Life is a dream, old bean. The trick is not to wake up!

[Andy2]

Asked me if I was flexible on the location (ie away from home) - no prob. Asked if I was happy with the rate - I was (permie role). Asked if I had specific experience in 2 packages (I didn't). So no cv passed forward for that role. But no bulltulip "How are you finding the market?" or "do you have any other interviews in the pipeline that may clash?".

and then you woke up?

Permanents agents are nicer than contract ones. All relative of course.
