Taken a short break following mutual end to contract - am I missing anything?

I believe that it is legal for theatrical agencies to charge for finding you work, an exception that (at least formerly) proves the rule. And I know it does not affect the OP - unless feeling like a complete change!

An agency can charge for services such as writing your CV or arranging practice interviews. Most would not do it but it is possible.

Thanks for this. I was lucky to have found a creative writer/CV designer when I previously signed on 8 years ago. Obviously a lot has changed since then, but I still use his template/design in my current CV, as well as the tips for how to create a great layout. I try not to get too many opinions as there is never a completely right answer with a CV. What one person really likes in it, another doesn't. I am, however, happy with how it currently looks though.

As for theatre, perhaps a role in a soap opera would be ideal as there is plenty of drama in my life at the moment! :rotfl:

Did not wish to offend so apologies if I came across rude. Your insight has been really interesting and helpful though, especially from someone with that kind of experience being on the other side of the desk in the job centre. I really do appreciate your response so thank you!

You did not come across as rude at all, Davesignet6589. I was very conscious how the word "misconduct", for that is what we called it, could come across without explanation and wished to be clear I was not in any way implying you had conducted yourself in any way other than professionally. Thank you for your response. I am sure you will find a job which is a much better fit for you very soon.
