[Darren_Test]

Friends,

How to handle inferiority complex (!) of hiring/line/reporting managers while they recruit interview Contractors who are much experienced than them...???

Most of permie resources I worked are lesser experienced, last few interviews I am getting too much reference to "Excessive Experience "!!! How to handle this situation..?? Thanks.

Act like you're stupid when you are probably very capable. Makes them feel better.

Go to General if you want to see how it's done.

Ermm...

You should be asking how you can help them. It's not about being (or perhaps only feeling) superior. They know their business far better than you do, all you're there for is to fill in a quite small missing piece.

Very true, as I'm usually engaged as an SME, I would be both extremely surprised and disappointed if the interviewer was as experienced as me.

You don't want to get lumped with a load of inside IR35 service desk BAU work.
