I learned that quickly, so when I go into an interview I'm always honest and take a couple of extra CVs just in case the recruiter has changed something.

At one interview they told me they thought I would be a good fit, but couldn't hire me at my requested salary.

I hadn't put down a requested salary, the recruiter had put down an unreasonably high salary and almost cost me the job
