Perm Role - Contractors Interviewing

[SantaClaus]

Fancy not knowing what IT means ???

Invoice Total - any idiot knows that.


ICT - Invoice Currency Total for when you are contracting in Holland and need to invoice in Guilders etc


Or even a SAP - which reminds me - wheres me CV ...

And all these years I thought IT meant Incontinence Training.

Well I went anyway!
...messed up and now Id expect a call tomorrow afternoon telling me I was not successful.

You expect the agent to call you to say you flunked. Get real, they never do that. You will never hear from that agent again.

I had an interview once where I had trouble remembering my own phone number...

The standard answer to that is that I don't often ring myself up.

I did some interviewing for the NHS for BI contract roles and was actually shocked when on two separate occasions candidates answered their phones during an interview.
We also had one chap who, when asked what he understood by the term Business Intelligence said,
"It's about seeing pens for sale in one shop at £1 and in another shop for 70p and buying the cheaper ones!"

After that, it was a short interview

I interview candidates for client permy roles pretty frequently, I never see them as competition.

In my experience clients usually see the contractor as a subject matter expert and better able to evaluate the true level of the candidates technical skills and knowledge. I can spot a bull sh*tter / blagger within a couple of questions
