Mending fences with a personnel agent

Francois asks: What is the best way to mend fences with a personnel agent once a job has gone wrong? I was off ill and had to quit an important assignment - she's still mad at me!

In answer:
It sounds like ..... not only did you go ill, but failed to communicate that with either the client or the personnel agent. That's a cardinal sin in the contracting world, and means you are highly unlikely to work for that agency ever again.

You could try apologising - that takes a lot of courage, and gains admiration as it is done so irregularly these days; as well as promising to have learnt your lesson and would fully communicate in the future should such a situation occur again. You have nothing to lose, so why not try it?
