You needed to be more like DD? Or maybe you needed a pair for the position...

You should not let them make you feel down. I am sure the problem is in requiter or in the company for not updating their site. I know you will find something more suitable.

The problem is, I have just had the agent on the phone, they lack clarity with what they want.

You just described every agent I've ever worked with

Just once I would like an agent who had an idea of the role, I work on low voltage interfacing some how that got translated to kV testing!....

A few months ago I actually had a recruiter stumble through the list of requirement she was reading. She said she was new at it. I told her that she didn't have enough details to describe the job.
She them asked ME to help fill in the details so she could try to hire me.

You had to just give her the % he is getting if you got the job to save some of your time

Could be apparently I lacked 'zeal' (give me a break!) the best bit was when the MD took another call...

I don't know about zeal, but I've got loads of zest; ready for the lemon tart I'm making.

Don't feeel too bad. About 20 years ago I stopped an interview/interrogation by six people when I started answering the previous question. For those in the UK it was a bit like the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch but not so funny for me

They effectively wasted your time too, which is worse.

but they get paid for wasting time...

Exactly, so why would they care? You OTOH actually lost time.

It sounds to me more like the recruiter wasted everyone's time.
I remember going to an interview (when I really really needed a job to pay bills). Gas was at an all time high (I think you call it petrol). It was a long drive each way. I drove for the interview and nailed it. Then they called me back (I'm thinking it is a follow up interview). I drive back again, paying the high price for gas I could barely afford. Instead of a 2nd interview... they give me an offer... a very very low offer (insulting levels of low). I'm thinking to myself... they could have done this on the phone.
I was furious, but politely said I could not be satisfied with that   My time and money were wasted that day.
In the end I got a much better job a few short weeks later, with a 50% pay increase 
Edit:
I guess I should elaborate on why I got a low offer after nailing the interview... they thought I cheated on the technical exam  because nobody had ever done it that fast - and a perfect score to boot. Some people are so arrogant... thinking they are the only ones that know a language inside and out...

Pricks.
I hate going into an interview and within 5 minutes you know they are all pricks. Glenn, don't take it too badly, it does happen sometimes, and it makes us more careful prior to the interview.
