Never trust a recruitment consultant.Especially if you work in an area that requires technical knowledge.
They see "IT job", they see "IT tech" and they throw people at it until something sticks, regardless of how qualified you are or how qualified you need to be in order to do the job. They don't understand and they don't care to.
I have been to a number of interviews that I was way over-qualified for, nowhere near qualified enough for and on one occasion a job in a completely different area entirely.

Yeah, fuck off mate, I've my own job to do.

A recruitment consultant would probably think so.Their line is "the main thing is to keep offering quality candidates". Which means "this guy's on our books and set up a home router once. We don't want him on our books".
