What is it with agencies calling to discuss your CV in detail? Asking for lots of information which they will not understand and not be able to do anything with? Just ended up telling the pimp that my CV didn't need them to know anything more than what was on my CV and that it would sell itself. Pimp wasted 15 mins asking me questions which I kept answering with quick answers that basically told them they don't need to know.

You've got the wrong approach there. I try to educate the agent so that they have a little bit of knowledge the next time they see a client. Its a win win for me as when they want someone who can do x, they think of me and know that:-Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View Post

Happy to talk to agents and educate them as long as they can absorb the information.
I once spent 30 minutes trying to explain to some ditsy bird why she couldn't find a technical architect that specialised in Java. I had tried to point out to her that java was software development based and that solutions architects tend to come from that background rather than technical architects who are infrastructure people.
She could not get it and kept saying but java is technical.
Shame she was quite pretty and I would have loved to shag her brains out but had obviously been beaten to the the job...Comment
