Can't argue with that. In terms of their shopping lift, I think that's foolish and will just put off many would be excellent applicants.

This is a learning role with substantial training offered throughout the fixed term, and so substantial work experience is not expected. However, candidates are expected to show a desire and appetite for development work and should be able to reference examples of this.

Nothing wrong with that. Junior position with less than average remuneration as you'd expect looking at the client. They've cut and pasted requirements so hardly applicable bearing in mine the two factors I already mentioned.

You are just being a bit precious. Get your application in. The fact you can't do any of the requirements should be a stopper for you.

Good luck.
