atw: Re: agents getting sneaky

Ooo. Nasty - thanks for the heads up. I have only seen "for this position"
but now I know to be careful.

Re contracting:
I notice that some agents, who are referring me to a prospective contract,
will send an email which includes the following:

"Please give your permission for "xxxpersonnel" to be your sole
representative for positions with the Department of "xxxxxxxxx".

I wonder if there are many people who reply yes to the email, in a hurry,
without considering the repercussions.

I reply as follows:
"I grant you the right to be my sole representative for "this position" 
only.  This grant does not include the right to represent me for other
positions that may arise in the future, with this, or any other
organisation.  Such rights must be negotiated idividually".

However, it does create an unhealthy concern that the agent is taking a
shortcut in ethics.
