I'm benched from today (my own choice), chose not to take the kind offer of a rate reduction and decided to move on. Going to do some courses and take a month or so before I start looking for something else.

I had an agent call last week, all went well and then right at the end he said
"we are running a competition in the office for new leads and Im close to winning can you tell me who you think are recruiting, where you have been for interviews over the past 3 momths along with names of people you met"

LOL!Originally posted by SimonMac View PostGot an interview for a job I didn't even apply for, all they need is two references AND a list of three recent interviews I have been on.

Got an email from an agent today about a role I discussed with him Monday pm. He asks 'What's your lowest rate for this job?' Told him what we agreed on Monday afternoon. Remember? he then said 'yeah, but what's your lowest for this job?'

Well done there.
I'm not looking forward to putting my cv out there if plan b/c don't work.
