Dear all - I hope you can help...

I've just this minute received a text message from a pimp. It reads:

"Hi cojak, saw your CV on Jobserve. what is the minimum rate you want for a good contract job? Pls text rate to XXX..."

How should I reply?

My minimum rate depends on the job?

What skillset are you looking for? What Sector? Which location?

If they are REALLY pushy on rate just say market.

I was hoping for more imaginative replies...

Anyway - I went with 'it depends on the role'...

Silence since then..

So much for barrow boys wanting to know market rates...

PS - this was a joke post btw...

You need to go into politician mode :-). i.e. don't answer the question. Lots of blah blah about quality of work, location, work pressure etc etc, and then quote a fairly wide range.

Well, do as he asks, text rate to XXX. I might be minded to put it in uppercase: RATE.
