You didn't get my joke about "earning your stripes" did you. Badger - stripes - badger - stripes

DOH!!!!!!!

whoosh for me too, too subtle.

Perhaps, but I kind of assume agent 2 would put me forward as well as agent 1. Client sees same CV from 2 agents and decides to not get in the middle of an agent spat and bins me for a quiet life.. Hey ho

I thought the usual thing that agent 2 does in this situation is to not put you forward, but put their own candidate forward. And then tell the client, in passing, that they had heard you were a bad contractor.

But I shouldn't worry about it badger - there are plenty of other contracts out there. Making this type of mistake is how you learn, and earn your stripes..

Same as agent 1, then.

Just had 2 different agencies call me re same role and told second agent not to put me forward as agent 1 is already representing.

reading the thread title I thought NLYUK was renaming her business.

she Said "F*** for a farthing" was too limiting.

well if he had a double barrelled name he was obivously a tw@

but after 17 years it is probably time to let it go!

I'm sure Zeity wants the meat to hang for a few more months.

[speling bee]

You may be right on both counts.

Never let a grudge die out. You need to take time to feed it when it dwindles, to keep it glowing and flickering away. Then when you bump into the ****er, you can just throw some fuel on and it's instantly roaring and ready to go.

I still haven't got over the twat from Cliveden putting me forward for a permie role in Bristol without telling me, thus screwing up a lucrative contract possibility.

Feckwhit.

D*n H*nl*y K*ng.

Another one who's on my tulip list.

It was 17 years ago now.

Fully expect agen 2 to put me forward anyway to reduce the competition as client will probably bin me as they won't want the agecy squabble.

Brilliant..

Should have done the usual stalling tactic, ask him for a job spec, and then make up some reason why its not for you.
