It seems we have discovered a form of life lower than politicians and bankers. Scum sucking bottom feeders without any discernible talents, but with the power to deny you access to decent employment.
Let's get this straight. I know my limits. I know what I am capable and not capable of. I know my CV reflects this, and I will not and do not apply for jobs beyond my scope. I don't like wasting peoples time.
On the other hand, it would appear that agents love to waste my time. I spend a long time talking to these people. Crazy promises to put me forward for positions are made, promises to call me back are made. None of them come true.
Then you get the other type. They just refuse to even acknowledge you've applied for a position. No contact. They won't respond to emails. They're never at their desks. They never respond to voice mails.
These people are scum. Needless to say I've started trying to apply direct through larger employers websites. Please note the word trying in the previous sentence. More on that later. After all, I've got to fill in my job seekers diary (again). It's signing on day tomorrow, and I'm all excited. Aren't you?
