Need some thoughts from the hive collective 'cos I'm undecided on how to progress.
Basically I've been offered an interview next week for a gig in the big smoke. All my previous gigs have been through contacts so not had interviews, etc, etc, so dealing with agency tricks isn't something I've been exposed to.
The pimp in this case spoke to me this morning after trying to contact me yesterday. In 1 day he'd forgotten who I was, why I was ringing or that he had my CV.
Popped it over to him to refresh his memory, he said he'd be speaking to his mgr later in the day and would get back to me.
Next thing I know I've been offered an interview with the client, didn't know the client, only have a 2 line 'spec' which is vague to say the least, and it's a client I've already be represented by with a different pimp (although nothing come of that yet)
Given I'm in Rochdale I've asked for a telephone interview first - won't do it, they're keen and want face-2-face apparently. I've asked for a spec so I can review it over the weekend, get told I'll have the role explained at the interview.
I'm please at being offered an interview (esp after only applying for maybe 10-12 over the past 3 weeks) but it's a fair old trek and a bit expensive to be told about a vague role.
Watcha reckon?
