employment agencies
has anyone else had problems with employment agencies , I tried a few just after Christmas it was a nightmare you would get a call about a job a brief job description from someone who knows nothing about the trade and probably used to work in telesales you would send your cv then nothing . For weeks then they are shocked when they ring up out of the blue and you tell them no thanks I have a job . I think they devalue our job which takes at least five years of hard graft to get to be a half decent engineer

Re: employment agencies
In got a job through Ashbury Associates. They seemed alright, no messing about, returned calls, etc, but in my case I approached them about a job they advertised not the other way round.
Health and safety first..........unless I'm in a hurry.
