I found myself wondering if this was actually about you and the way you come across. What does 'excessive experience' really mean? is this a polite way of saying 'bloke fancies himself a bit'. They will have seen your CV; if you have the experience, you have the experience. Surely the manager is looking for someone who will deliver and he can bask in your limelight because he appointed you? or does he end up thinking you are some kind of a threat to him (despite being a contractor) because of your attitude?
Please accept my apologies if I've got you completely wrong by the way.Comment
