Originally posted by threaded View PostThis is another one that should be in an FAQ for contracting:
There are many agents and clients out there that can't vocalise a reason why they don't want you, so they say something, anything, just to give a reason and that is why what they say can appear quite daft.
Then there are a few agents and clients who get off on rejecting you by saying something they think will upset you.
Just remember guys and gals, if they don't want you, they don't want you, anything said after that is, 99 times out of 100, random gibberings and you should not take any notice.
HTH
I have had some very good interview feedback from some companies, which has been really useful. One agent though, did say WTF at feedback I got once as he thought it was ridiculous (it was very trite)...it made a refreshing change to have the agent not necessarily take the client's word.
Now, if I get similar (ish) feedback on either my CV or at interviews I start looking at it. But not at the odd comment.

Invent a family business that you've been helping out with. An industry of your choice. I usually go for farming or small building company. There's a modicum of truth there that I can expand to fit.

It's getting a little bit harder to explain away as the months pass but I don't want them to see I've been sat on my arse for 3 months.

Now I know how Tim Henmen felt, consistently in the top 10 but ultimately winning flip all.
Darn you all and your negativity.
