    You will get bored.

    Just been rejected from a role because, "I would get bored." No doubting my skills or experience, just that I would get bored. It's only a three month contract forsake!

    It's because they are very concerned about your long term mental health.

      Who rejected you? The agent or end client?

            Bollocks, wtf does the agent know apart from his/her margin?

            IMO agents are f**king this industry up!

              Been there. Annoying, innit?

                It was the client. I'm was only really whinging about the excuse given. I have actually been quite impressed by this particular agent. No nonsense. Straight talker. Bothers to return emails or calls.

                  I had an interview for a basic support role where the interviewer seemed to spend the whole time trying to find out if I'd be bored, I felt like he was putting me off.

                  I didn't get it but was second on the list so when the first choice jacked it in after one day I got the call.

                  I am feckin bored mind... and poor.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    Don't ever take any notice of a rejection like this, that doesn't contain constructive criticism, it's just some crap off the top of their head, not often is it meant to upset you.
