Someone should tell agents I am not going to call them back when they leave a mesage saying they have 'a couple of roles they would like to run past me'.
I don't know how any of them actually make a living.

Today I've had "got any interviews lined up?"
The agent had a genuine role though, gave me the client name and location, and even put me forward at my asking rate that was £150 higher than the upper limit on the advert (was stupidly low to start with though)
