You will get bored.

[Not So Wise]

If it was a project based role probably more case of

"they want someone that would likely last whole project and you are way overqualified, so they have doubts if you would last to the end"

Been on both ends of the above senario

Just been rejected from a role because, "I would get bored." No doubting my skills or experience, just that I would get bored. It's only a three month contract forsake!

Don't ever take any notice of a rejection like this, that doesn't contain constructive criticism, it's just some crap off the top of their head, not often is it meant to upset you.

I had an interview for a basic support role where the interviewer seemed to spend the whole time trying to find out if I'd be bored, I felt like he was putting me off.

I didn't get it but was second on the list so when the first choice jacked it in after one day I got the call.

I am feckin bored mind... and poor.

It was the client. I'm was only really whinging about the excuse given. I have actually been quite impressed by this particular agent. No nonsense. Straight talker. Bothers to return emails or calls.

"The recruiting manager is such an incompetent twat that he is too frightened to take me on in case I show him up and that is why he only wants useless winkers working for him?"


Been there. Annoying, innit?

That's agent speak for "the client thought you'd rock the boat, we're all sitting here waiting for our pensions."

Bollocks, wtf does the agent know apart from his/her margin?

IMO agents are f**king this industry up!

Was it for an Oil Drilling company?

Who rejected you? The agent or end client?

[Ruse]

It's because they are very concerned about your long term mental health.
