"Hi cojak, saw your CV on Jobserve. what is the minimum rate you want for a good contract job? Pls text rate to XXX..."

How should I reply?

Well, do as he asks, text rate to XXX. I might be minded to put it in uppercase: RATE.

HTH

You need to go into politician mode :-). i.e. don't answer the question. Lots of blah blah about quality of work, location, work pressure etc etc, and then quote a fairly wide range.

I was hoping for more imaginative replies...

Anyway - I went with 'it depends on the role'...

Silence since then..

So much for barrow boys wanting to know market rates...

What skillset are you looking for? What Sector? Which location?
