Just had this email of a full time job offer.
First line did make me laugh  ::)

You will have a demonstrable track record in building a strong team ethos with a positive & enthusiastic view to growth; managing high profile customer relationships and ensuring strong channel management.
 
Numerically and commercially astute, you will be experienced in managing P&Ls and will be a highly driven individual who strives to achieve challenging targets.

It would be more honest if it said.

You won't be very driven, not very good at making sales and marketing in your own business and relish the opportunity to get a nice steady mediocre salary and don't mind stomaching plenty of BS and office politics.

You have considered taxi driving or working in a mail sorting office on the graveyard shift but things aren't quite that bad yet.

To apply please contact the silly HR girl on £80k a year who dreamt up this email.  ;D

You might have stood a chance as the MD or CEO as they are now known went to Austalia last year to do the same there.

ie put them in every Supermarket

And thats where I met him as he was putting them in Local Tesco
