Jetdriver,
As a whinging wannabe I'm sure you can imagine I have tried many ways to get my name around, including sending grapeshot CVs to everyone! The phone calls I was referring to were follow ups.
Yes I appreciate these people are very busy and I am grateful to have got through to them at all, and yes I understand they probably don't know themselves from one week to the next what they need. It just seemed to me on a few occasions people have been taken on in a very short space of time from when I had spoken to them.
Apologies for the uninteresting hand wringing but I thought the wannabes section had been missing a good moan!
