    FAO Amoria Bond Pimp asking me for three references

    To the lady who called me this morning asking for 3 references:

    You know what your pic on Linkedin looked like to me, with your good haircut and your cheap mascara? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from a dodgy agent, are you, Agent XXXX? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed? Pure south Bavarian. What's your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the agencies found you … all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars … while you could only dream of getting out … getting anywhere … getting all the way to Amoria Bond.

        Did they send you the representation paperwork they send out.... it goes straight to the virtual round filing cabinet.... Then if the role isn't advertised by someone else I phone up Modus or one of the S3 group to get them to find the client and put me forward..
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

            Damn. I haven't played it well then.

            I just said that it is my company's policy not to provide references until an offer is made. Once the offer is made, I usually provide the previous agency details.
