Interviewers that don't understand contractors

[Old Greg]

The correct answer is "Well, it could do with some work I think."

And quote them for the work.

It's usually why do want to work for us

When you know they don't want you to be honest and say I'm not a permie I don't want a career with you I just want your money

I just say, "I like the name of your company on my CV, when I am looking for new contracts, and that's the only reason I am taking a rate cut. Usually i would not touch this kind of role, but it's just one of cases."

HTH.

I've told clients their website is tulipe and still got the contract

Hopefully by then I will have completed your project and a couple of others and be either sunning myself on a beach somewhere or I'll be lying used and abused on a bed in an expensive hotel somewhere surrounded by white powder and high-class hookers.

Instantly marking yourself out as unimaginative and lacking ambition, not to mention lacking in self confidence and only in it for the money.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love the money, and I've no qualms about taking money for old rope when required, but if my heart isn't in something it becomes hard to motivate myself to go the extra mile, which ultimately impacts the quality of the end product and starts to get me down.

Ergo, If I'm hiring I want to see a bit more than dollar signs flashing in someone's eyes.
