Yes I know, we're used to it , I should 'move on', its 'just business' blah blah.
But I'm getting seriously fed up with the amount of time and effort I'm having to put in chasing roles that turn out, if they exist at all, to be materially and demonstrably different from the ones advertised, most recently a role advertised as 'working in London or Scotland' , the London bit was a complete porky, they just put it in cos when they advertised it in as in Scotland only they got no serious takers, soon as I enquired (after 15 minutes of a recording telling me how passionate and professional we at Huckster Associates are) it was 'the manager has just confirmed that it is in fact Scotland only, now is there a rate that would tempt you up there ...?'
No there is not you timewasting liar.
Don't suppose there's any trade body or regulator I could complain to that would do any good? Or do I just suck it up?
Please feel free to use this thread as a repository for the most outrageous examples of agents/agencies playing fast and loose with the truth (without exposing CUK to a libel risk), there'll be a modest prize of a night out with the moderators for the most egregious example. (second prize: 2 nights out with the mods ...heh)
