To think this is the most bizarre job ad ever?

[DontTouchTheMoustache]

I just needed to post this to check my sanity because I read it and felt drunk (I didn't read the whole thing, just the overview and bits in bold, then I needed a lie down).

He used to work in a strip club! knob.

Christ, I got bored less than halfway through that - what a bunch of gobshites.

I'd love to think that this is a spoof...

What self-respecting organisation includes stuff like "Storm-7 have received bookings and enquiries for conference and events from firms such..." in a job ad...?

He's advising about legal issues but doesnt pay his interns...

Some of the stuff in there can be explained by the fact it's a C&P job as they have three intern adverts running at the moment...

This sales one also looks very much like a job, rather than an internship

Ditto for this admin "internship"

(When did wooden floorboards in the office become a feature of a great employer, BTW?)

They are on twitter @Storm7Consult - at first impressive number of followers but a quick scroll through shows them as mostly bots/fake accounts

I'm really impressed by Danny's qualifications. I expect the First Aid certificate is handy when his workers collapse.

I had a look at their London address - it's in The Shard, but I'm pretty sure that's a virtual address rather than a permanent office. V stylish.

I know my LinkedIn photo is a bit 'resting bitch face' but his is just bizarre...

The rent of the Shard virtual address is £50/month. I wonder how many business have that as their address...

Seriously, they want all that and it's unpaid?

How does the person live if they are not being paid?

This has to be the ultimate in wank speak

Contact members of the public to converse on their current financial products and discuss any possible hidden charges that may have been added without consent.
Probe consumers on past experiences with banks.
Meet and exceed daily targets and provide an excellent customer service.
Deal with reluctant customers.

So he was one of those cold callers we all wind up. Or I wank speak a sales consultant

That guy has had a shit load of short employments. Just the sort of person you want to work for - for no money

Thank you for the first genuine lol in a while. London, New York, Halifax. Why no Peckham? Read that list of requirements and try to imagine Del Boy saying it.

Hilarious! I wonder how one uses one's 'fierce ‘take no prisoners’ attitude' when fetching flat whites and getting the dry cleaning (which is no doubt still part of the unpaid dogsbody role these days). I also wonder how he managed to post that 'job' description from so far up his own arse.

"We haven't seen the film but basically we want a hot chick who is good with computers, but we won't pay her anything".

Fantastic! Right old laugh reading this :)

I'd be curious to know how many of these interns get a job with the company after they finish their internship.

My son did a 3 month unpaid internship with a small company in the music industry. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who applied for it.

He was offered a job at the end of his internship and is doing really well with them. Even if they hadn't been able to take him on they would have helped him get a paid job via their contacts. The music industry is so tough to get into that people are falling over themselves to work for free just to 'get into the business' and make contacts/network.

Some companies just use these internships to get free labour on the pretext of giving them experience in that area of business. They never offer jobs at the end and just sign up the next willing intern.

The advert specifies actual responsibilities. By definition it is not an internship, but a job which in law entitles the post-holder to NMW.

The VP Global Sales and Marketing is also essentially unpaid (commission only). And the job ad is a C&P from the intern one too, even saying "in addition to the intern specifications above..."

The Social Events position is also commission only

We're achingly cool and you can be too (but we won't be paying you)

That is fucking outrageous.

I've reported it to www.internaware.org/report_an_unpaid_internship

Oh bless him - just seen the linked in page link (he'll be getting so many notifications of views he'll be convinced he's finally hit the big time!).

Mahoosive delusions of grandeur there - from leaflet hander-outer for Lidls to call centre phone answerer to CEO of wankspeak central trying to convince people to work for him for nothing. If anyone falls for that nonsense more fool them!

There is a really interesting TED talk about why millennials feel so entitled and therefore think that they can bypass the hard work phase on the road to success, he looks like a prime example!
