I've come to realise that the only thing that changes is the name of the agency who are lying to me. "I'll ring you back as I'd really like to get you in front of the client" she fibbed. "I think you're ideal for the job. I'll be in touch". By the following Tuesday my latest new best friend was mysteriously unavailable and not returning any calls. Honestly I was shocked. Not even slightly. Now you'd think they'd realise that, having been unemployed for 6 months, I'd see right through this bullshit. But, I suppose that only applies if they bothered reading what actually says on my CV, rather than what they think is on my CV. Although in this instance the word (if not the spelling) "read" is kind of ironic.
I suppose there was some merit in the exercise. Registering with this crowd allowed me to complete my Panini "Belfast Recruitment Agencies" sticker album. You can imagine the celebrations that followed.
On a more positive note I sat and passed my ITIL V3 Foundation course. This formalises my experience and gives me a recognised, tangible qualification. For all the whinging I do here I'd just like to say that in contrast to my previous experiences the company I used "Sureskills" were very good, and the trainer, a guy called Mike Stellard from Aquip, was excellent. If you're looking to do an ITIL training course then I'd strongly recommend both.
