    Inveterate Liars

    Here's the scenario (phone call):

    Agent: Hi, are you currently looking for work?
    Contractor:Yes, I am.
    A:Well, I've got something... (tells some details and fairytales)
    C:Sounds good.
    A:OK, I'm going to send you an email with the spec, right now. Bye
    C:Bye.

    Hours passed, no email.
    This happened to me with different agents 4 times just today !!!
    Why they say they are going to send something if they are not? Are they all gone mad?

    You need to knopw what he was thinking when he rang you.

    Consider
    Agent: Hi, are you currently looking for work?
    Contractor:Yes, I am.
    A Thinks: No contacts there then, bail him quick and ring the next mug.

    Does that help?
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
