No doubt we have all heard the old saws say that its all about relationships. We must build relationships they advise.. and when we turn to the next page there it is again...
However is that always true?
This time lets step back and take a look from a contractors point of view... and ask ourselves is it true to try and build a relationship with everything that moves?
Perhaps, more importantly, is to ask if it is worth protecting a relationship you already have? and if so why.. and how do you determine which to protect and which to let go?
Looking back into your recent past do you notice yourself hanging on to an agent that looks after you only when you are placeable and/or only when you are in a current contract and things are looking good?
What about the time when things are not so good what do you notice?
What happened the last time you were in your third month out of work, with debt piling up and your back up against the wall and not a peep being heard from an agent... except one.
Where did your feelings of appreciation and gratitude gravitate to?
To what extent in your view is "getting-clear-on-which-relationship-is-worth-protecting" important?
