I know what you mean SA, I was sent to a contract interview once for a completely different role. What was the agent thinking ? I would get off the bus and turn into a cobalt programmer ?Originally posted by SallyAnneWell after all that nonsense with the agents, the guy from the actual company itself actually rang me up!! Said he was sick of shouting at agents all morning and thought he might aswell speak to me directly
And low and behold, once you take the agents out of the way, the job wasn't right for me at all.
The wrong appliation and the wrong skills.
The guy was very nice though.
I could have done the job, as I know I pick things up incredibly quickly, but I didn't want to go into a company up here and cock things up - I'd rather wait for a position thats right for me.
Cheers for asking though HW.
