So I went to that interview a fortnight ago. The consultant said; "I love your work...I've got some positions in mind (for well known branding agencies) I'd like to put you forward for..."
Nothing! I've tried to chase him up but it's like he's avoiding me.Should I move on?

I think you should move on, follow up once a week [maybe] but keep on truckin in the meantime... Just like with women, as soon as you stop looking for one, they tend to pop up...
nice holding page too... it's aboot time!

I take it the interview was for a recruitment consultant.
They're nobbers, wouldn't bother...
Yeah Noticed you had a site up – Nice, I commented on it before but under a different login - 'Note'
I take it you are looking in London? What type of work are you looking to do? What is your ideal agency?
Keep plugin' son.

I've only applied for jobs I've seen advertised. I figured that in my position, I can't waist time talking to agencies that aren't hiring.
I do realise the value of doing that, just doesn't seem like a priority.
