Agent lied to client about my skills and now I have an interview

[EternalOptimist]

Hi,

I've been put forward for a contract and now I have a telephone interview. For some reason, the agency have forwarded me an email containing details of their markup etc. and a doctored copy of my CV which went to the client.

I don't know whether this was a mistake or in the interests of full-disclosure but, having looked at the CV, I've noticed that they've shoe horned in all the stuff from the job spec, including one skill which I specifically told them I was a bit patchy on.

This could easily lead to awkwardness and embarrassment in the phone interview so I'm looking for advice.

Apart from my weakness with that one skill (from a pretty lengthy job spec), I'm a good match for the job. Has anyone else ever found themself in this position and what did/would you do?

Thanks

forget all the bolux

you are there to maximise the profits, end of.

YOU are in charge. So what do YOU have to do to maximise your profts ? work it it out and stop getting others to do it for you

OK, that was on Friday morning. It's Sunday evening, so if you're a proper contractor you should be good enough at it to pass a phone interview by now.

Best of luck!
