    Bloody Agents!!!!!!!!!!

    So I get a call an hour ago from a guy from Catch Recruitment. I've always liked Catch, one of my favourite agencies (although i havn't worked for them yet).

    He's got a possible job for me with a company in Newcastle, and he's going to ring the guy for a chat about me right now - just wanted to check I was still available.
    I said "yay - go ahead".

    So 15 minutes later he rings back and says "I have a phone interview for you this afternoon. The guy said he's had your CV for months and really liked it, but the last agency (Nigel Wright) had put you in at such a low rate for a job months ago that they thought you must be tulipe and have therefore never bothered approaching you!!"

    Some ******* tool from Nigel Wright, who I knew at the time didn't understand the Oracle market, has scupperred my chances of working at this company for the last 4 months because of his utter ******* incompatence!

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

        Your spelling is awful. Are you sure that they are not called "Snatch"?

        Could be a good name for a specialist girlie agency

          Too much tea drinking can cause that.

            Yes, but I'm sure he has a good heart and believes in what he is doing.

            Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll get me coat.

              Look on the bright side. 1) That's one client who won't be using Nigel Wright (or his ******* tool) again. 2) There are a few good agents out there, and you seem to have found one in Catch. Plus it sounds like you should get the gig. All in all, not such a bad day then.
              His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
