It's all a function of the rate and your ability to feign indifference. I don't care if I'm asked to navigate through hoops, as long as the money's right .Originally posted by SantaClaus View Post -

It could be argued that, for a contract, both the job spec and the CV are an "invitation to treat" - the job spec invites contractors to go for the role, and the CV invites the contractee to go for the contractor. I doubt the Sale of Goods Act would apply, so that would leave the whole thing up to an ugly and expensive discussion between contract lawyers.
IANAL and all the other caveats

Interesting how everyone slams Menelaus for lying on his CV, but it is seen as par for the course in a different context!'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Most often the job spec bears no resemblance to the actual work on the ground. The job spec usually has its historical roots in the first technical design proposal.
Usually the contractor actually needs none of the skills on the job spec.Cats are evil.Comment

Look, it's not as if we can't do the job is it? So we stress things we have looked at briefly because we've evaluated them in the context of the job advert and know that although we might not be 100% we can pick it up in no seconds flat and because we have loads of experience probably do a better job than numpties that have been doing it for years. If everyone could do it, we wouldn't be paid what we are.
Simples....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
