  - They are a traditonal agency. I've never worked in one. I don't know the ropes of how a real agency works. - lileve Nov 4, 13:49 5
    - Fine, then they can always come back and say they only positions available or they would consider you for are Junior ones. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 13:50 1
      - Almost anything to get me out of here. -- nm - lileve Nov 4, 13:51
    - sure, but treat yourself with respect or nobody else will - zork Nov 4, 13:49 2
      - Okies. - lileve Nov 4, 13:50 1
        
        no worries -- nm - zork Nov 4, 13:52
  - Concur. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 13:48

  - Actually I'd scratch help and replace with assistance. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 13:48

- It really depends how well you know the other party too. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 13:43 7
  - Yeah that's true. I would also probably include "I am happy to be available to discuss matters at any time with you if you so wish"...or words to that - Loyola Nov 4, 13:45 6
    - I'm asking this person to review my portfolio and to give me advice on getting a job in the industry she works in. -- nm - lileve Nov 4, 13:47 1
      - but treat it like they might in a position to give you a job -- nm - zork Nov 4, 13:49

      - I always thank people for their *time* -- nm - zork Nov 4, 13:47 1
