    Email list from agents….

    Got an email yesterday from a very large agent with around 400 email addresses on about a large piece of work coming up for a certain region. Hence, there is a lot you can assume about this email list.

    Got a few spams on the back of this, complained to the agents, who want me to call for the most sincere of apologies.

    Now, if I wanted to have some fun, like data protection complaint, what would the options be?

    Not that I would sell it on to an agent or anything (unless they could exchange my Focus for one that works perfectly!)

      You truly are the most boring person I have ever had the misfortune to come across.

        Am I missing something? I never quite understand your posts and not sure of the point of this one..? You want to try to complain because you have been sent an email?
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            If you really are unhappy then withdraw your cv from them : say you are on their blacklist.

            Why not send the list of emails to all the agents you know? I suggest via an anonymous email address!

            I once got most of the emails this way : sent by an umbrella : montpelier. It has come in jolly handy for asking people to join the bn66 thread!

              Just do a Reply To All explaining what they have done and the significance of it for the benefit of the other recipients that may not have noticed the error. They may also be upset at their details having been sent out and may want to progress it too.

                  That's a very good idea. This is an opportunity to not just resolve this issue, but a networking opportunity with those 400 others. There is also the chance to pass on other messages, such as promoting CUK or PCG membership, good practice amongst agents and so on.

                  This could be Wilmslow's chance to produce a short (just one or 2 pages) .PDF and attach that with the issues and other messages, a bit like a newsletter. It might be a good business-generating opportunity too by attaching a one page CV summary.

                    Thats what one would hope for. Alas I suspect we will get something about polyester ties, shoes being peed on, or the state of his focus.
