So it would seem!

[NoddY]

There's no shortage of fudge packers on here.

You can make a living out of something that VS does with a template ???

Christ!

If you're asking if I can use InstallShield, then the answer is yes I can*. Or is there more to it than that?

*Okay so it's like doing Perl: I hack and slash with no real understanding and swear loudly until it does what I want. But I get there in the end.

(and you match the job spec perfect)

Maybe they are not so keen on your grammar?

or when you do speak to them they are not techincal enough to understand the role.

. Perhaps you are not able to explain in a language they understand? If you can't explain it at their level, how will you explain issues to their client?

I've had my CV re-written so I dont think thats an issue!

What are your experiences?

You either:
i) Come across poorly face to face / on the phone and therefore the pimp doesn't want to put you forward
ii) You are under qualified
iii) You are asking for too much money

HTH indeed

Goodnight

Any packagers on here?

I've been a packager for around 6 years now. I'm looking for a new contract but am left constantly frustrated by agents that either dont get back to you after applying (and you match the job spec perfect) or when you do speak to them they are not techincal enough to understand the role.

I've had my CV re-written so I dont think thats an issue!

What are your experiences?

And if you are working somewhere with an MSI contract vacancy... let me know!

I can package. I'm proficient in using both wrapping and brown paper and have experience of sellotape and string. I also took a course in advanced paper folds.

HTH

No, 18 months as a contractor, 2 different clients.
