Hi Dave,

I’m one of the two journalists currently at Spannerworks, and I don’t think I’d have applied if I’d seen an advert with the same wording – it bears little relation to what we do.

Antony’s comment regarding how Charlie and I feel is spot-on. I think we both started with some degree of trepidation, partly because hiring journalists was a new direction for the company and nobody was entirely sure how it would work out. It’s exceeded my expectations.

I’ve written a bit about the advert and your post on our blog Hackbash, if you’re interested.

Not only do they need a copywriter rather than a journalist, they also need an editor. Part of the problem with that last quoted para is the use of the semi-colon.
