What he really said
Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostAgent: "You are the most experienced applicant I've had and you're the only one with the specific product knowledge. That's why I think the client would worry you might leave. How do I convince them it's worthwhile interviewing you?"
This gig is in the bag for you but my client has some delusions about what motivates contractors so what I need YOU to do is lie to me about how much you want this gig for personal reasons, how much the location suits your lifestyle, or if you can pick somthing out of the spec which you can use to convince my skitty client that you will stay for the duration of the contract.
I dont know you, so I am certainly not going to stick my neck out and lie to the client to get you the gig, when I have 5 other candidates who will adjust their marketing strategy to suit the the role, and will work at a lower rate than you will.
But, fair play to you, I am throwing you a bone, but if you dont want it, then sod off and stop wasting my time.There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to thinkComment

and what makes this muppet believe that the others on his list will be any more commited?
Somebody on a higher rate is unlikely to find a better paying gig.

At a guess
Agent has already forwarded allocated number of CVs. Your CV has turned up and you look ideal for the role. Wants to put you off.Comment

To me this sounds like the agent has 'already' sent his maximum quota of applications for this role and has only noticed you after he has done this.
He was probably just ringing you up to see if you had already been submitted for the role via a different agency and then thrown you a curve ball to discourage you from actually applying for it.
believe me, I know these guys and they 'ways' quite well.Comment
