Weird…

By jetblack in LJ Archive

I got two calls about jobs in Oakland.. and they sound eerily similiar. I wonder if someone’s got two contract agencies shopping the same gig and both got my resume… :/ I hope it’s not the same, but the details are just too dead-on to be different, but then again, it wouldn’t be the first time I thought that and was proven wrong.

Jeff had two people call him about the same job, and when he told one he’d already been dealing with one agency about it, she got all flustered and had no idea what to do!

I’m letting them work for me. One claims they can get me a better rate. 🙂

Good plan! Here, they tend to get pissy if two agencies try to represent you for the one job.

They get pissy here, too, but the thing is that they never told me what company it’s for, but they made exact same job requirements, like they were reading off the same sheet given to them. This ought to be interesting.

Aaah, the “if you don’t tell me company names, I can’t know it’s the same company” trick!

Good luck with your job hunting 🙂
