Buried in the middle of them was my own, at the top its last updated date an unknowing traitor. I was mortified, but the boss took it really well, offering me a small pay rise. I phoned the agent who shrugged it off without a care. | |

They'll probably phone and say they're asking for a reference for candidate Joe Bloggs so reception transfer the call to the manager, and pretend to ask for a reference and build rapport before suggesting some similarly qualified candidates they just happen to have. | |
