Ask not what...

What a price a job? £700 says MBA graduate

"British man, 26, Oxford graduate, now with added MBA...looking for interesting work anywhere..,"

Good luck to Daniel. I think he has a fine future in PR at least, if the coverage gained on £700 is anything to go by.

Sadly, in the section of media I operate two words rule above all others: end benefit. And to be clear, that is to the customer, as opposed to for the sales person or, in this case, applicant.

Sadly nothing in the pitch above exactly helps me as a potential employer assess what advantage I'd gain from the hire.

But then again, looking at how the current establishment works (sic), I guess it might not matter.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
