Whatever

After the initial flurry of activity and promises from recruitment agents, it is now all quiet on the agent front. I appreciate that there isn't great deal about, but I'm still getting the usual poor service when I do make contact. I saw an ideal role for me on the website of an agent I hadn't previously contacted, so I promptly did. In the letter I sent (via email of course; I'm 21st century kinda guy!) I asked for a reply so I know where I stand. I don't think I need to say any more, do I? Even after follow-up emails and a phone call (not put through, naturally). I also sent emails to about 10 agents that I have been dealing with to ask if there is anything, plus it reminds them of me, and half didn't reply. I understand an agent isn't sitting twiddling thumbs waiting on my call, but surely to click on the reply button with a short note isn't too time consuming and is the courteous thing to do. I have now entered the third month (officially second as I had a month's notice) of not working and I'm beginning to run out of steam. The early days of being positive, mainly due to agents making promises they have been unable and incapable of meeting, is now a distant memory. I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to trawl through website after website knowing that if I come across something, the likelihood is I'll be ignored. Is that a Talking Heads song I hear..."I'm on the road to nowhere..."
