Email from Agent

Guilty as charged ....

My contact email address needs sorting out: ilikebigbutts@hotmail.com doesn't make the best first impression.

The email addresses are obviously stripped out by the time we get them, but I'd have hired you on the strength of that addy alone...

"Following your recent application for the position I am writing to inform that this role is on hold subject to future a consultation with the programme director.

Thank you for your interest and we will be in touch if it becomes live again or with other suitable roles"

"I have managed to place someone else in this role but I think that you are good enough to make me some money elsewhere"

That'd have been one of the tamer ones! It was amazing how many of them appeared to use their e-mail addresses as a means of telling other people about their perception of the size of their John Thomases. Or perhaps they were just warning agents about their personalities. It was hard to tell.

I've not had that. But I have been subjected the old "To instead of BCC field" cock-up by an agent. It was quite revealing about the somewhat, er, casual e-mail addresses that some contractors use as their professional contact address!

An agent to whom I applied for a contract sent me an email attaching a load of other candidates CVs.

Was it our very own DA?

He's been fishing and caught a big one?

The Mayans were right!

Actually, despite some time spent foiling with agents this week, it's been generally OK on the communications front my end. One gig that came up last week through an agency I haven't dealt with before, and that I've just been offered today, also came up through a second agent that I know better. I wasn't able to be represented for the role by the second agent that I know better as I was already in through the first lot, but he did provide some useful info unprompted about the role I secured this week nonetheless.

I don't get it, unsolicited helpful information willingly passed on without prompting from an agent. Does not compute....

Newbie agents try to be polite and do things by the book. They will soon learn to become like other agents....
