Thank you, all!
It's a bit strange. After I became a permanent, suddenly a lot of agents want to offer me work somewhere else. I've had to say "no" a few times. But I got a really weird email this evening. *shrug*
The agent started off by telling me, "Your skills are in demand!!!" and wanted to offer me the chance to apply for a job waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay across town (about an hour's drive, or 2 hours by public transport), at -- wait for it -- a chocolate manufacturer, where I'd be packing and labelling chocolate bars.
O ... K. Meanwhile, I've been working accounts for the past 16 years, and in healthcare for about 13 of them. I also have a job about 20 minutes' drive away (or 40 minutes by public transport). And two weeks ago I was offered permanency, which I've been seeking for 9 years. I was very happy to accept.
So, let's recap: much longer travelling time. Not my area of expertise at all. Probably paying much, much less.
Why in the name of sanity should I even consider this?
Obviously this person hasn't even glanced at my CV ...
