Some companies contain people who are tulip about saying exactly what they want for a role. This results in them wasting a lot of other people's time and money.

The interviewer is fairly new to the company, so I'd tend to give some benefit of the doubt.

Irony being I've a phone interview tomorrow, local, higher rate - with some web skills involved. All nighter swotting up in order, I think.

Tulip of the day...

Had interview for a role suited to my CV, backend J2EE stuff.

Interview was short, seemingly went well.

Feedback?

A maybe.

Back to fallback role then; what's the market rate for a gigolo? Though to be fair, I'm planning a twist - clients paying me not to sleep with them. I'd make more money that way.
