"Please could you also keep me informed with the state of any applications you have had going on recently – where possible, could you please confirm the following for our files as discussed:
• The companies that you have had interviews with/have applications with
• Who you spoke to on these interviews and when you went for the positions
• The positions you went for and what the positions entailed
• Any feedback that may be of use with my networking

I ask for these because I do not want to duplicate anything that you have going on"

Some agents are actually very good at their job. This one just isn't.
