Cv porkies

You get what you pay for in general. Some clients, despite having junior, regular and senior permie roles, seem to think that there's just one type of contractor rather than green, seasoned and chancers.

Pick two: cheap, available, good.

I think it's more the agencies who won't forward your cv if it is in their eyes not a 100% match as they don't have a clue in most cases. End clients most of the time know better

If your good at what you do and have a glowing CV you shouldn't really need LinkedIn. Never used it myself as I find agencies start contacting you past employers. Most linkedin are usually not up to date.

Well the saga continues. Had a phone interview last week. The guy is sub par but for some reason client is desperate to the point they want him in for face to face. Come Friday he pulled out and said he found somewhere else. Today got an email that he wants an interview if the position is still open. LOL what was this guy thinking???? Well the client is willing to have him in for the he'll of it but has reservations. Technically I don't think he is good enough but I can only advise the client when the time comes after the interview.

Messing about with the interview scheduling is recipe for disaster and doesn't bode well, but is it not preferable for an interviewer to start an interview without any pre-conceptions...?!
