this club - prentious and rude when it comes to prospective employees

I find the problem with this site is that people lay in mercilessly into people without knowing their frame of mind or where they are in life. Not Adrie in particular but just a general observation over the years. Take a step back.

Fair comment US, but we can't walk on eggshells all the time. People should also take responsibility for what they post initially. People shouldn't post 'rants', then moan when they get slated

It's not The CLUB at all. it's Brighton and Hove Jobs the ex shirt sponsor. I agree though, the iPhone add is a bit ambiguous.

Adrie presented an open goal. It does not mean people have to take it though does it ?

I'm going to guess, that as he hasn't accused the club of being 'rude, disrespectful, hostile and prentious', or littered a ranty post with myriad grammatical and spelling errors, that he'll probably get none. Just a hunch though.
fork me
I have changed this
Possibly someone who has worked hard to get qualifications and experience?

On internet discussions and forums like these, I often think how much different it would be in real life if everyone was talking face-to-face, say in a pub. Because online you have anonymity, and also because you can't relay your emotions and tone of voice when you type stuff in.

We encourage healthy debate, we encourage heavy discussion, but the minute it turns into name calling, history shows what happens, it disintegrates into playground stuff with every one jumping on board, invariably the only way to stop that is by closing the thread, which we don't want to do.
I might add once that happens he amount of reported posts / PMs we have to deal with are to many!
Can I also point out, Bozza has been voicing his opinion about "name calling and insult throwing" for a very long time now, most of you on this thread have been about long enough to have known that, those that don't know or don't remember, well I have just done you a favour in letting you know
those of you that ignore it then learn the hard way I guess

I have to say there is a wider problem with job titles alluding to something it's not. The campaign for plain English have highlighted this many times for decades now. Employers, and seems the Albion should take note also, do fall over themselves to engage in such nonsense. Wasn't it the 80s when everyone became an executive? Today everyone's a manager.
When I worked for sainsburys years ago, they rebranded all the store shelf stacker positions as "alleviated stock replenisher" and the guy who collects trolleys as "external customer liaison officer" to name a few. But then they also tried to "rebrand" distribution centres as "fulfilment factories"....which everyone queried "what's that?" To which they had to reply..."a depot" much to the amusement of suppliers and hauliers who carried on calling then depots because that's what they're called in everyday ENGLISH! And have been for many years without incident

A very good and true post

US, you talk about the OP's frame of mind, and where they are at the time of posting, but that cuts both ways. You don't know those things about the people that respond, and it isn't always going to be benevolent, nor I would argue, should it be. If you are worried you might get a negative response, don't post, it's that simple...

Fair enough. I have posted some absolute HORSESH*T over the years and have got a lot of flack. Some justified, some not.

Whilst on the subject, what do we all think an Albion players job description "could be" titled given 1066s experience?
Gotta be "External..." something or other?!

Very true. Often important job titles for ordinary run of the mill jobs.
Of course there can be misleading job vacancy titles as well. I lived up north for a few years, and when the construction industry went into recession and i could not get a job as a Sparks, i went for a job as a Bartender. Imagine my surprise when i realised that they wanted me to serve alcohol and soft drinks to the public.
I expected to be looking after the bar, making sure that punters did not abuse the bar, polishing it after lazy punters did not put their glasses on a mat. I expected to have to re varnish the bar when it needed it.
Anyway, i took the job of serving alcohol and soft drinks, in the hope that one day i would get promoted to a Bartender......sadly the vacancy never seemed to come up.
