    I just checked the Meetup website, The London-Heal-and-Grow-Abundant group looks like a very sinister cult hell bent on world business domination, a sort of Scientology for The Wannabe Apprentice.

    Yeah right... What pure B$, Perhaps her next campaign should be sponsored by the 419 Entrepreneurs Community?

    Maybe this is her first step?


    Jase.
    Genuine recruitment agent working for Experis is my view. Could be looking for a sheaf of fodder CVs but I think it is more likely she is trying to save on her advertising slot allocation by covering multiple jobs in one slot.

From the few occasions I've explored further over the years out of a misguided sense of morbid curiosity, I've always found it to be the former rather than the latter.

    Does not require further explanation IMO.

    Where the gap between the upper and lower salary bands quoted is more than 20% of the upper end, that's a clear sign it's merely a fishing exercise rather than a serious, targeted advert.

    Also reading the advert this is just a fishing mail for a range of jobs. I can't believe a client would have a requirment that is so wide ranging so think it is a pile of poo advert IMO.
