Wise decision Mr Threaded. Exactly this happened to me last year and left me more than 20,000 euros out of pocket.

I went to see a client today.
They are in deep deep doodoo.
They are overflowing with bobs, working really really hard.
Yet I fear that client will not long be with us.
So I turned the contract down. The work would be interesting, but I don't think they'll last long enough to pay me bill.
I feel sad that the bobs don't know this...
So less of the disguised nastiness, I only see what're a bunch of contractors about to be stiffed.

This is how Bob applied for a job similar to mine two years ago:
JOB OBJECTIVE
To judiciously use the dynamism of my potentials and creativity in the pursuit of the company goals and embracing challenges, leading to self improvement and realization of set goals at the earliest possible time.
Needless to say, Bob rarely cuts the mustard when he applies for my job, charming though this chap undoubtedly is. So he sticks with development.
It looks like the output from one of those automated sentence generators.
