As suspected, no joy with the agencies. Only one answered and was highly optimistic about all the briefs they’ll be getting in the next few weeks (the first week in January is always dead apparently). The others simply don’t take my calls. The worst culprits are the ones that are ‘not a colour’. I haven’t even spoken to the guy since I went in and registered in October. And it’s not for lack of trying. This is how the conversation goes:
“Hi. Can I speak to Trevor please?”
“Who’s calling?”
“It’s Jo Elliott.”
“What’s it regarding”
“Errrrrrm... work.”
“Are you available for work?”
“Yes. But can I speak to Trevor please?”
“I’ll just try his line for you”
[I hold for a while].
“I’m sorry. He’s in a meeting. Can I take a message?”
“No it’s OK. I’ll try AGAIN later”.
Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh
