  • Know any 20 somethings who speak French or Italian who would be interested in an inside sales role in Reading Berkshire.  It would probably suit a graduate or someone 22-26 ish.  If they are outgoing and business-like but don't have a degree I think they would probably still get an interview.

    They need to be an EU citizen.  The Head Recruiter is a mate of mine.  The hirer are a big tech firm hiring 30 people at the same time for an expansion into Europe.

    - £35k to £50k base, double on target earnings.  (Assume you would be paid £35k basic)
    - OTE Guaranteed first 3 months
    - self service BI player
    - massive growth
    - no age restriction

    PM me if suited and I will introduce you.

  • This is for an IT company; numbnuts.  Reading is the Silicon Valley of the UK all the large IT companies are there.

    It is NOT for a charity.  Why would I waste my time or anyone else's time posting an advert for a sh!tty job?

    Base means Basic Salary.  You get paid that just for turning up to work.  Commission on sales is on top of that.

    Admittedly, if you don't sell more than the median amount of your colleagues, you will probably get fired after about 6-9 months because they are not going to spend £3k a month on an unproductive bum.

  • Quote from: soulguard
    Those jobs are a load of shite. I done them for charities and for a catalogue company. Had me own business when I was 18, but was not real job and it actually costed me money to do it, more than I got from sales.


    Dear Matthew,

    Why is this useless, mindless excuse for a human being allowed to continue posting on this site? He announced several weeks ago to all and sundry, in his usual semiliterate, expletive-filled language, that he was leaving CI for good. Yet here he still is, soiling every thread he comes into contact with. In this case, he is sneering at another member who is making a generous offer of assistance to essentially anyone in the EU seeking work and willing to get off his fat arse long enough to take ggreg up on the offer.

    The frosting on the cake is that some other knuckle-dragger has given "TCat/soullessguard" a thumb up for his illiterate abuse! Is this truly the kind of atmosphere you want to foster hereabouts? Are "TCat/soullessguard" and similar contributors, who invariably scandalize decent people with their warped thinking and contempt-filled language, to become the poster boys for a Traditional Catholic website?

  • Ok, soulguard, watch your language.

    Yes, that is your (one) warning.

  • The mention of Reading reminded me of an elderly Hungarian man, who died last year. He was in his 80s and still took the train from Reading to London, where his brother  has a business. The widow of the Hungarian man is Irish. She left Ireland in her youth and lives in Reading. She broke her hip in recent times. She used to visit Ireland every year during the summer.

    Lovely as usual Ggreg can't miss an opportunity to degrade others. Not an exceptional seller, you are a bum!

    You are abusing ggreg utterly without cause. TCat/soulguard, with whom you have more than once chatted amicably, had likewise roundly abused him in a comment that was so vicious that Matthew deleted it. At the same time Matthew also deleted his subsequent, even fouler comments, one of which was directed at me.

    Have you read the OP? Is there in it any basis—at least any unmalicious basis—for declaring the job opportunity it proffers fraudulent or exploitative or anything else of the sort. Well, that's how dear soulguard characterized it, all the while sneering at ggreg in language you'd perhaps find peachy keen. The response you quote from ggreg, whilst not embodying terms redolent of sweetness and light, is quite temperate in comparison with what it was responding to.

    I get it, Tiffany. You think ggreg is Beelzebub in a three-piece suit. You are not alone in so thinking. Until you can provide some photographic evidence of his horns and tail, however, the usual charitable presumptions are as incuмbent upon you as upon anyone else. The long and the short of this situation is that you owe ggreg an apology for broad-jumping to a false conclusion and crowning that feat with an unwarranted insult.
