5th interview, thank but no thanks.

Any more than 2 interviews walk away. Chances are it is either:

1. Really a permie job.
2. Smoke and mirrors.

Wise words The old man had three interviews once and he couldn't walk or tulip straight for a fortnight.

Anyone who needs 15 interviews to reject you isn't worth working for.

Indeed they detect you are a dead weight after one!


3 interview tops if they haven't put out I am wasting my time. Fortune 500 & FTSE 100 may have 4. Though most of those hire me on one.

BR14 is Spuddy's off-brand sockie.

Maybe so.

I don't do interviews anymore. When a contract is coming to an end, I just do a ring round my contacts and see what contract work is available.

Talking of PuppetMasters, where is sassy?

Still recovering from that operation to remove your tongue from his bottom?

Best gigs always have the shortest interview process...
My best gigs inc this one have been 10 min chats in the canteen.

Worse ones are when you've got a panel of 5-6 offshore people on a phone interview trying to impress each other with the most obscure tech question.

Also worse ones are phone interviews where the interview doesn't phone you on time. Had a few of these. Last one was arranged for 1230pm or something (last few weeks at client site) so I could not be at my desk. Didnt call but called at 3pm. Then got arsey with agent that I hadn't bothered to answer the phone to conduct the interview. Jeez....

There are other extremes.

For my current gig they didn't want to interview me at all. Fine with my CV.

I was quite worried and wanted to meet the client myself but it all worked out fine.

Funny old world, contracting.
