Intern Working For Graham Jones MP

[Neil]

I just noticed this job advert online and thought a local person might be interested

Intern For Graham Jones MP

I hate it though when job adverts say things like this.

Due to the large number of applicants we are unable to respond to each candidate individually.

Hmm, well no reply, perhaps 95% of MP's just aren't bothered about aknowledgeing the efforts put in by applicants?
The application addy is email, so how difficult would it be to set up an auto reply to say thank you?

Ah, just noticed it's chicken & egg syndrome,

Applicants should be reliable, enthusiastic and be sympathetic to the aims and values of the Labour Party. Strong IT, communication and organisational skills essential.

Until he can get someone that is:-

Reliable, enthusiastic Strong IT, communication and organisational skills essential.

He obviously isn't capable of setting up an auto reply.

Nice job for someone from mainland European.

Is that a legal thing to put in a job advert?
Surely the job should go to the most suitable person without prejudice about their political leanings?

[Barrie Yates]

He must have a brilliant crystal ball - "due to the large number of applicants", or is it just hope and a prayer.
Can't see anyone from his constituency applying.

Oh yes, here's something, apparently there's the accusation he's wants a slave.

Seems it's a bit of a hot potato.
