    Pathway - any good?

    Hint
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      I've used them. Not bad. A bit of a mithering bunch when it comes to actually getting the contract, but once I was in, was always paid promptly, and never heard a peep from them. Just the way I like it.

        But seriously Rajiv -

        1) No one gives their real name on here because sooner or later someone will find out who you are and try and get a free drink out of you

        2) Who cares what the agency is like. So long as you get the job and have and have a reputable umbrella (or preferably your own Ltd) then it's OK Jack.

        3) Put serious questions in Business/contacts or Accounting/Legal.

        4) Pathway (or any agency) talking to you is like you snogging a fat bird at a club - you know you probably won't be calling her back the next day. Until you have an interview don't bother unzipping your pants.

        5) Good luck. If this is your first venture into contracting, you're going to need some luck cuz the market is utter crap right now.

          TazMan - thanks for your advice. Don't worry Rajiv Singh isn't my real name either.

          HA Man - I don't get the tumbleweed reference. Something to do with the Big Lebowski?

          Anyways, I'll stick my neck out and let you know that I wouldn't recommend them (I have recently finished a contract with them) but can't offer up too many pointers without flagging to them who I really am and having my card marked. I was just fishing to see if I was alone in this view.

            Avoid any with the initials P&R.

              Are there others with those initials?

                What I should've said was "Avoid any of their agents with the initials P&R!".

                Sorry.

                    Nah mate, he doesn't work for them!

                    DA only falls down in the drinking department.
