Re: What would you do?

Interesting topic.

Aside from the moral dilemma - any good interviewer is going to ask you Qs
related to what you put. Unless you can back it up, I'd skip. Add to this
that the recruiting agency makes bank from you landing the gig - even if
you do not work out they still get $$.

PS - I had the same experience with desperate recruiting agencies. Things
like wanting me to work for $20-25 an hour while they charged the client
$75-100. PFFF, no thanks!
