It means the other IT folk at the charity are probably incompetent and/or lazy. You had a good escape...

A platitude. You weren't good enough, move on...

eddie1507 this is too much of a coincidence, I had a f2f interview last Wed, flew down met them. Interview went very well and they said I was a very good fit for the role, they liked me, no negatives. Agent told me that there was only myself and one other person in the running. Got a call this morning from the agent who said the same as yours word for word. He added that they were a bit worried that given my very wide experience I might get bored. The charity was related to Cancer. Is this the same role or just a coincidence

Yampy that does sound very strange ... No this wasn't .... Where was that role based out of could be a separate part of the business ??

What's your skill set ??

**eddie1507** · 26 May 2015, 18:22

Probably right guys just never really heard that before ... Spose they don't want someone who they think may rock the boat..
I did tell the agent that wasn't me and hope I didn't come across that way

Based in Sutton with some days in Chelsea. My skill set is around infrastructure PM and service delivery
