They have an agent there calling himself Michael Mann...he will talk on the phone for hours, waste your time, talk about himself constantly then lie about the wages the job has on offer and then try and persuade you because the market is bad that you must lower your wage requirements to what you earned 10 years ago just so he can get his commission. He will tell you he has an interview for you then you will hear nothing from him. You will not believe the bull shit that comes out of his motor mouth...talking about how he was V.P of this and that and talking how great he is etc! It is as if he is going for the job himself!
