You sound like Alan Partridge.

Well, it was the late nineties.

I'm sure the agent wouldn't mind Mich posting the photo, it might get her some new clients.

[MaryPoppins]

Does she play hockey?

She'll play anything Mich likes as long as he gives her some leads.

Agent sends me a linkedin invitation saying she wants my CV as she's looking for testers/test managers etc. So I accepted. Can't do much harm. Then she sends me an e-mail with her electronic photo business card, which includes a picture of a very fit looking bird, leading me to believe it may be her, and saying she'd like to meet up to discuss opportunities for the future. I look at her company's website and the same photo of a really very attractive woman is next to her name and profile.

Now I don't usually have much time for this kind of thing from agents, but she really does look quite fit. What's the betting that if I accept her invitation to meet up she's probably an 18 stone fat bearded bloke with a nasty skin condition?

She probably is v fit - most female agents I've met seem to be. Thick as pigtulip too, which seems largely irrelevant for what they're hired for.

It's like the car parts delivery ladies in the vans. Every one of them is drop dead gorgeous so garages will call them back in with parts so they can ogle. Kerching.

No.

It did a bit

Back on topic-ish, the only Jovo's I've ever allowed into my home were two fit looking ladies.

1997-2000, I worked with an agency run by two ladies. One was a blond bombshell, driving around in a Vauxhall Calibra. With an engineering degree, she did all her own maintainance. Very smart - but not above using the bimbo stereotype to her best advantage.

Good lord.

i think that means go commando

Dear <agent>

having discussed your business card picture in private with selected members of the CUK congregation, I am happy to accept your invitation to meet up. Can I suggest a rather fine restaurant in my hometown, reputed to be the best restaurant in the Benelux? I'll book the table, and by the way, they have a small hotel with beds for guests.

yours rather randily

Mich the Tester

ps do you prefer boxers or calvins?

Good lord.

Agree with MP, they do tend to be fit. Been taken out by a couple and they were both quality. Also had a group lunch and the 3 that turned up were fit as well.
About 50/50 on the dozy front, a couple of them were well switched on, especially when it came to making cash and by the looks of things - spending it too.
