... and your point is?

If you really want a laugh I could show you the last appointment letter that I had the privilege to receive ... but perhaps I shall hold back to spare the blushes of the company concerned.

And lastly, the best job(s) I ever gained were offered (and accepted) on a verbal basis.

Not everyone is employed in the Public Sector, or a large (over-staffed) private company ... alternatives are available.

Meanwhile, it's pretty clear that Michael is simply casting his hook into the water (as it were) ... and perhaps, by now, he has "got a bite" for all we know. All the stuff you mention can be dealt with once initial contacts have been made.

To use a fishing analogy.
It the quality of your lure, and how it's cast, which lands the prize fish.

Now dont take the bait... Geoff

Not a red herring is it, jobs like this are hard to come by maybe Geoff can be "poached".
Any idea what the bass-ic salary is, anything to the tuna c£30k.
Eel be a worth-wile aquisition, is it a sole position and what scale would you be on

Sorry to "carp" on, but you would not catch me applying to work in any "plaice" with an advert which is a load of "pollocks".

Is it a job advert ... or an attempt to avoid paying for a "proper" ad. on the website?

Either way, even I would never consider working for a guy who apparently can't spell the word "engineer"!

Stuff like "sloppy" and "can't be bothered to check" doesn't much appeal (to me) I must admit.

I thought along the same lines Geoff,

It would appear that we have reached a broad agreement of opinion. (It must be an attempt at a freebie advert).

I dont think he will be overwhelmed by the response from applicants......
