Nope, didn't get the job. Apparently I was too dynamic. Too upvibe.

I'm not kidding, that's what they said over the phone. It's quite amusing that apparently I was too much of a personality for the client's company.

Shame, because it seems that it was only a personality clash with the company was what did me in, but I'll keep searching...

Tim suggested they might not want someone who is going to get bored in a month and leave, forcing them to do it all again...

In other words:
* you've got a personality (shock, horror!), and that could be a problem for some clients who just want a drone.
* you've got a brain that needs to be used, and most temping jobs are mind-numbingly boring/repetitive.

"We think you're over-qualified"
"That's okay, I can act stupid!"

Eh, keep looking / knocking on doors...there's some stuff out there. And, good luck! :)

That or they want somebody who's been searching for longer, and therefore more desperate. ("No overtime pay? Why sure I'll sigh the contract!")
