            If 100 of us apply to the role and don't answer the calls do you think they would get the message?
            You are missing the point - they don't care, they won't be calling, they have already given the gig to Bobco.

              That happened when a load of us were culled from Bangalore Telecom. A guy I worked with had a very niche skill set was on something like 350 a day. His role was advertised at 140. The agency are getting paid either way as this is just an exercise to get bobs over here. They advertise it at such a low rate so that no local could do the job and you can claim that there is a skills shortage and get bob in.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                This has been happening for years. Adapt or die. Personally I renewed my clearance and work on systems where non-brits ain't allowed.

                  Its getting in on that particular gravy train that's the issue.
