    I have now been asked to rewrite my CV to contain more of the "buzzwords" from the advert.

    If I was a driver it would be along the lines of "know how to put petrol in and start engine".

    Luckily last clientco just phoned and offered some more work. Better rate too. tulip coffee though.

    Saying your the best candidate is a standard agency tactic for keeping you interested.
