Which do you prefer or dislike ...... Recruitment or Estate Agents?

Since leaving SFIA and starting my own company I have been inundated with messages on LinkedIn inviting me to connect with people.

Wow, great you might say until I then tell you that all these connections (without exception) are recruitment agents trying to make some money out of my recent job move. To me this doesn't make any sense, because I've already moved......so you're all a bit late...D'oh!

I've actually not got anything against either of these professions as I used to be an Estate Agent (there you go...I've said it in public!) and I've been helped by several genuine recruitment agents. However, when these people try to contact me by claiming to be my friend when I don't know them from Adam it really gets my back up.

If you want to contact me genuinely, pay for the professional version of LinkedIn like everyone else has to!

I would like to start a poll on this one for a bit of fun. Considering most of us question the morality of animal testing I thought maybe we could use "agents" of some description instead as there seem to be more of them and I for one feel less guilty about experimenting on them. So should it be "recruitment or estate" agents we use for these experiments? Tell me why and then ask your friends to tell me too!!!
