Hello,
I'm a project manager with a few year's permanent experience from a media company (a large corporation), now I'm trying to move into contracting, hopefully something more creative, ideally a digital agency.
Have had 4 interviews in 2 weeks, but think I think I'm not blagging enough on the experience front, as feedback is generally "you don't have the solid budgetary experience we need" or "not sure you could fit into this environment". I have done some costing, what do contractors do in this situation? If you think you can do something are you still totally honest if you haven't got exactly what an employer wants? I don't want to lie but think something in my attitude isn't working.
Two agencies have said they'd happily consider me 1 or 2 contracts down the line. They've also said I'm "nice, bright, intelligent" and would fit into the culture. But one also said "how honest I am".
I'm fed up of getting feedback that makes me sound like an andrex puppy, any tips good.
Thanks.
