Sometimes I despair

Of recruiters, and indeed their candidates.

So I got a CV (resume) today. The agent's email was entitled "The Best Developer in England" and urged me to get in contact quickly to avoid a 'bidding war'. So far so hyped, but then of course I just had to read the CV of the best developer in England. There were many good bits, but I spluttered my coffee at

"<name> undertook a short term contract, acting as holiday cover for <name of consultancy withheld>'s senior UML designers and C# developers. This major United Kingdom Government project <is an information website>. In his role as holiday cover James was responsible for a number of core designs"

So there you have it, major government projects are designed by the holiday cover guy.
