    This is another one that should be in an FAQ for contracting:

    There are many agents and clients out there that can't vocalise a reason why they don't want you, so they say something, anything, just to give a reason and that is why what they say can appear quite daft.

    Then there are a few agents and clients who get off on rejecting you by saying something they think will upset you.

    Just remember guys and gals, if they don't want you, they don't want you, anything said after that is, 99 times out of 100, random gibberings and you should not take any notice.

    HTH

    Yes, it's very true. I used to get annoyed at the rare agent or client who tried to upset me, but realised not worth it.

    I have had some very good interview feedback from some companies, which has been really useful. One agent though, did say WTF at feedback I got once as he thought it was ridiculous (it was very trite)...it made a refreshing change to have the agent not necessarily take the client's word.

    Now, if I get similar (ish) feedback on either my CV or at interviews I start looking at it. But not at the odd comment.

      Good call!

        There is a ten year history on there ending in December. From Jan i've been job hunting.

        Seriously WTF!
