    Contractor Interview

    Sat in an interview Friday - One of us [contractor]

    Strolls in - shakes each persons hands and says "so how can I be helping you"

    Over the course of the interview - EVERYTHING he did was RIGHT and every system and company he went to was doing it wrong.

    Fell apart on basic framework and technical/strategy questions

    Now I know why Contractors can be seen as twats.

    This has to have been amongst the worse guys ive had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing.

        TBH its people like these that give us a bloody bad name! It was arrogance all over. Did he REALLY think he had a chance with that attitude? Shocked me tbh.
