    what is it with pimps when they leave phone numbers

    Surely if a pimp has bothered to leave you a voicemail they are genuinely trying to get hold of you because you think you are right for a particular role they have. If so, why o why do half of them speed through their phone number so you can't jot it down? How incredibly stupid of them. I've lost patience with this kind of pimp now and just delete the message.

    You are COTBAC only if you can write it down.

    So the question is AYCOTBAC?

        You sound very predictable these days. Are you not spending enough time on Immigration boards?!

          Even if you manage to write down the number and you call them, they will never answer or if someone answers (never the pimp that called you) they are always "in a meeting" or "a lunch break" (lunch breaks normally lasting from 10AM to 4PM) after which they will call back immediately (immediately meaning never ever at all)

            This.

            And even if they speak to you and say you're a great match, remember you're often only speaking to a drone. Your cv might get forwarded to the fateful 'Account Manager' who'll promptly look for those asking for the lowest rate and will frequently filter out better quality contractors.

              Oh yeah this fictitious, mysterious account manager. Who never can be spoken to directly, who always seem to have 20 year old trainees (mostly girls for some reason) working for them. When the sentence "I will now discuss it with my accountmanager" has been uttered you know, you will never hear anything back.

                I always found center4testing to be the worst for that. Even had a disagreeable 'discussion' with someone purporting to be such an account manager once.

                  I've managed to speak to account managers.

                  Oddly a lot of them have young male trainees........
