Whatever

End of first week of unemployment. It’s Friday and the job from heaven (well, very competent agent) is on-hold until Monday, due to the person I saw not being in the office until then. I had spoken to Paula (the agent) and told her of my thoughts about the job - all very positive. Her response was also very positive, stating again what a great company it is, how suitable I am etc, etc, etc..... Anyway, I had to wait until Monday before a return date could be arranged. In the mean time, there are other recruitment agents. I had spoken to three and and was put forward for four jobs. Blimey! I also contacted a printing company that was one of my suppliers at the old job and the conversation gave me a glimmer of hope that all is not lost. I was feeling quite perky and had a very optimistic view so I decided not to advertise my spare room for a lodger until after the weekend. I felt something was in the air and the need for a lodger would not arise. How wrong was I? Very. Monday came and went and Tuesday did the same. Hmmmm? I started to smell a rat. Wednesday morning I got an email from the agent stating another candidate had been chosen. But I was under the impression I was going back for a second interview/meet the team for a huddle type thing. No impression, that’s what was said. Suddenly, the agent is no longer available. No response to my phone calls and emails. It all started so well, but once a recruitment agent, always a recruitment agent - they always revert to type.
