Problem is that by switching your status back to 'unavailable', it still gets flagged up by the agencies as an updated CV so they will contact you again. I pointed this out to a few pimps last time and they explained that the 'availability' status wasn't passed to them. Utter tulipe!Illegitimus non carborundum est!Comment
