I see the same ads as Richard as well !

I've come to the conclusion that the only way to get passed the "have enough boxed been ticked" filter is to LIE ! No-one in their right minds with the skills listed for many of these jobs is going to consider them at teh pay being offered - so I am forced to conclude that the agencies have come to expect candidates to 'exaggerate' their skills, and in response 'exaggerate' the requirements.

The end results is, I suspect, that the agencies (and hence the employers they are seeking to service) are missing out on the capable but honest people (like myself, blush) with ethics standards that bar us from applying for these jobs that we apparently are not qualified for.

So I too am wondering where all these high paid jobs are - because I am not seeing them :-(
