    NLUK is handsome, charming, sensitive to the feelings of others....no hang on, that's me !! NLUK is just the same in real life. Fortunately, not many strangers in the pub come up and ask random questions about IR35, JSA or whether to take a contract with less money nearer home

    What annoys me is having a phone interview with some technical tests, and then a F2F where 90% of the questions are just reasked by someone else

    Then you get the gig, end up doing something completely new within the first week and rely entirely on your google fu...just the thing they were making sure you weren't doing at the interview stage

    They love it, I get stuff done. They particularly like me because I am always right as well

    Much cheapness.

    Yes, I might have views about life/agents/clients on here but it doesnt mean I like this is real life.

    Yet, apparently, this gives you enough information to label me as 'clueless'? Hmmm.
    No, your previous 4930 posts provide us enough evidence to show that you are clueless.

    Dunno. Withdrew anyway. Not suitable (and the rate took a nose-dive it seemed!)

    Questions I think should be asked are "why?" type questions. So many people do so much without really understanding why they're doing it.

    When you ask someone "why" you can easily tell if they really get it or are just going with the flow.

    I get the logic, and theoretically it's a great question. But I'd just give you a funny look and say "I have no idea".

    Why on earth would anyone honestly remember that?
