I read advert although I have no suitable experience or anywhere close to the job site. I thought the advert reasonable. My own main paid job (contractor support for commercial side of engineering company(ies)) has been advertised for a couple of months prior to my last contract expiring. I was invited to apply. Pay grade only given as a range. Lots of detail of what is required (I advised it was not listing some points I though relevant to know by company, if they were interviewing folk) I refused to apply (due 'employee status'). Contract expired. Now re-hired on a new contract at my price and on my terms. Freedom is sometimes more important than pay, just as some folk might prefer to work for a charity than for a 'for profit (any industry)' job The fact that you disclosed you were a charity, does indicate you are not in the big salary league but need a decent applicant within what you can afford. Your advert does not give any offence. Only thing I might have wanted was a phone number (inside advert) to discuss or seek answers to questions before applying on line. Where I help as a volunteer, many seeking jobs have no computer or smart phone and cannot apply online, albeit these are not seeking IT jobs. A lot of the folk in UK are not IT literate or have IT resources. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
