One Reason I Suck At Contracting....

[Sockpuppet]

Just got an interview for a direct position (not the DHL one - still keeping options open) and for the life of me I cannot remember what its for.

I remember applying to the company but I can't find the ad / application I put in.


Crumbs!

Dear SP

Don't you have a little spreadsheet/database to track all your applications, agencies etc etc

I’ve had it the other way round. Went for an interview but the client hadn’t a clue which candidate he was interviewing. Kept asking me questions to which I did know the answers which made me look even more than an idiot than normal. When I challenged him about it he said it was on my CV, but when he produced his copy he admitted he had never seen it before and he was just interviewing people on a list he had been given and never looked at the CV’s.

Actually what is worse is finding said application ... seeing the time stamp (00:14) and wondering what the **** I was smoking at the time to apply for the job. Now for the gracious climbdown.

The trick to getting a contract is not to want it. I just signed on for three months for a really dull spec/test job. When asked, couldn't remember anything about the last similar job I has as it was so tedious I excreted all knowledge from my brain as soon as possible. Said I wasn't interested in more than three months as the work looked so dull I would rather have a lobotomy but they stil offered it too me. Must be even worse than I thought.

I go through my whole life like that. Dont want a contract, dont want to get tied down to a needy gf, dont want to have kids, don;t want to get married.

yada yada yada.

Not a very likely contingency unless they are also blind and have no sense of smell. Even then you might want to wait till the warts clear up a bit!
