    With regard to the comments made regarding the salary offered on our recent advertisment, would you please note that no salary figure includes a lunch break, therefore the hourly rate is based on this being deducted. Also, as this position is aimed at 18-19 year olds and the minimum wage for an under 21 year old is ?3.80 per hour, the salary offered not only exceeds this rate but is also considered fair for the geographical area we are based in. We hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

    That very well may be but how can you expect people to take you seriously by placing a job ad on a free message board???

    You only have to look at how ILM was formed from an advert on a college noticeboard to see that targeting specific informal marginalised and niche groups can be more productive in the long run than targeting the world at large.

    I hope the offer is genuine, I hope some kid gets a toehold in the industry he loves instead of working in the corporate IT department of a company that minces 4000 cows a day in a single factory.
