Hah, I'll post the response I've just sent to a recruiter (Reply to all):
Hi Keya,
1. You didn't try and call me.
2. Thanks for BCC'ing the recipients - I'm sure everyone here wanted their e-mail address to be handed out.
3. You managed to send the e-mail twice.
4. Did you just search "product" and copy and paste half a dozen job adverts to compile your role. It has a lot of "musts" and "compulsories" but if you'd taken the time to read my CV (Admit it - you never even downloaded it, did you?) you'd know I don't meet several of these and, given that I can no longer take the [certification], it seems unlikely I will. (I'm a [newer equivalent cert], though, sorry that that won't do)
5. I've already been sent this role by someone else - £350 p/d for this role in London. Good luck with that - I'm sure whoever you get will be fantastic.
I'll pass, thanks.
Dan

Had a phone interview with a Bob consultancy a few months back. On my mobile, and it seemd about 10 of them asking questions. Didnt go well.
They all seemed to be trying to outdo themselves asking the most obscure and clever tech questions. Completely pointless and silly.
Has anyone ever been desperate enough to take one of these bob gigs ?Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

But they paid only 10% less than my normal rate.
Never again. Never. I shiver at the very thought.If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.Comment

Hmm. Putting me off guys. I must admit the rate in my case is so low its a joke which concerns me. Only reason they need a contractor is because it needs SC so they're putting someone through it so no bobs on board here.
I too get the feeling that they're gonna want miracles for the money, bleed it dry and then get rid of asap.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
