    I saw on someone's CV the other day, "renewed 6 times", like it was tours of duty in Afghanistan or something.
    I was asked how many renewals I've had, I explained that my last 2 roles were both data migration on a fixed time-frame so any renewals would have meant I'd underperformed.

    I heard the whoosh as this went straight over the agents head, never got a call back.
