Bad Job Adverts #1

Thursday 10th December

Sometimes a job advert rubs me up the wrong way. Here’s an example:

Photographers Assistant

Description: Photographer specialising in location small flash work with high end family clients and corporate work. Looking for BERKSHIRE based (RG8 area preferably) assistant who is smart, keen and hardworking.

Ideally suited to someone after more of an education than a salary, but the work is paid. SEND to the email below: A CV, Recent photo of YOURSELF and in the email the relevant details – Drivers license? Car? Location? I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOUR PORTFOLIO, I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU WANT TO BE AN ASSISTANT, I DO NOT WANT EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE FALLEN ON HARD TIMES APPLYING.

I am the photographers main assistant but am based too far away for his smaller jobs, any time wasters will be sent straight to the bin. Thanks!

Crumbs! I don’t know, it almost reeks of jealousy and/or paranoia that they’re going to be replaced.
