Sat on a Zoom meeting, wearing a tie waiting for the interviewer to join. I had previously been offered the role but didn't take it after they took too long to make an offer, so I was feeling confident.
About 5 mins after the start time I text my friend who works there to ask why no-one has joined.
Agency (Salt) didn't bother telling me the interview was cancelled as "I was asking for too much money".
The "too much money" amount was more than 50% over the rate I asked for.
Never heard from the agency again.Comment

At the very start of my career one agent from hays sent my cv through to the client after editing it and adding skills I didn't have.
He told me about it after I secured an interview so I had to learn as much as possible about the stuff he lied about before the interview. And that's how I landed my first role, by lying.
It was an entry-level role so nobody cared that I didn't know tulip but still makes me giggle how my whole career started from a series of lies.Comment

Was this when you had visas in Spain, Portugal, Singapore, Australia and North Korea, while paying no tax and having the hardest job in the world?
Warning #2.- I worked in SNG and AUS for many years.
- I never said I had visas in spain and portugal, I said I had an immigration lawyer write me an advisory report on what I need to do to get a visa.
- I pay my tax in the UK
- I don't have the hardest job in the world, that professor guy does.
What are you trying to imply about me?Comment

I was offered an outside contract with occasional visits to a client site on the South Coast.
It now turns out the position is with the same client with occasional visits to the far North of England.Comment
