Recommended for the wrong job

Continuing my job-hunt, I went down to a company in the north this morning. Unfortunately I was matched for the wrong job. I was told that my job scope was Unix administration or programming. However, I was tested on assembling a PC. After fumbling around, I told the interviewer I couldn't do it. I wasn't here for this. Somewhere along the communication line, there's been a mixed up, resulting in the agency sending me down for this job.

It could have ended on a sour note, but the manager was flexible and asked me what I could do. So I told him and since he was having a few tasks that needed to be settled, I demonstrated a bit on those. I felt he was satisfied. Basically it wasn't going to a permanent job, or maybe it won't even be a contractual one, but I guess it's better than doing nothing at this point in time.
