I mean I had the perm role in the palm of my hand and after further discussions around money they said, lets make it contract to perm to see if you're worth it!

I've been 'shortlisted' for interview and managed to get my CV put in for 6 roles in the last two weeks with agents, but yet no interview. In fact, after the first couple of calls, not a dicky bird, not a sausage and the agent seems to disapear into the ether. Dont remember it being like that in my day.
Managed to get one interview for a Perm role directly and I've been offered that, but ideally I'd like to get on of these bloody contracts Im chasing!!!
Have to decide on Friday or risk losing the perm role
Not getting a sniff. Must be others are asking for tulip low rates so getting asked to interview by the client.
