Quite up my street.
But I forgot about it until late this morning.
I then phoned the agency who was very impressed, indeed excited. I'd sent a generic c.v. but he wanted more quantitative details. I have such a c.v. ready to go.
He also made a few other suggestions which I incorporated and then sent to him.
After lunch we spoke some more.
He was now concerned that I hadn't worked since end of May and that this wouldn't look too good. Less excited now.
I was a bit miffed about this: I'm doing my best to get a job but "you cannot fight an economy".
Anyway, I emailed an apologia:
"... This is what I've been doing since end of May:
- not working and resting after an intense interim assignment
- travelling, I've visited Helsinki, Tallinn and Munich
- studying Windows XP
- learining some Javascript
- building a business in Finland, it's registered and we hope to be trading soon
- applying for jobs, I've attended interviews and received one offer which I rejected as the agency misled me and the client about rates...."
I phoned another agency about a job for which I applied yesterday. I asked him how he was finding the market. He said it was buyount. I explained that I've found it rather erratic and he then recalled that the summer time was particularly bad.
That was more reassuring.
He also said I had a really good c.v. Which was nice. But he didn't have a suitable job for me.
Bugger.
A few hours later the other agency phoned back. He'd spoken to his manager and they were going to put my name forward to their client.
Phew. A bite.
