Not a sniff.

Arabic is prefereable but simply being good and qualified is far better and you'll have the language and cultural skills around you - you will be pivitol in building the team. We're effectively a start up but with an intial capitalisation with lots of noughts.

We're in a position where we are completely 'crunch' proof. The package is around GBP 50k pa tax free (which I believe is the equivalent of around GBP 75K pa in UK money for a single person) plus a motor and relocation can be negotiated.

Hi Asterix, I would of loved to have applied but you did say you would see through any bullSh*t laugh And although I have over 12 years experience of high level sales and account management/marketing I don't have any formal qualifications or maybe the experience you are looking for which is a sham as I would love an opportunity like that.

I hate to say it, but it does need someone with a history of results. It's a hugely important role as it ties in the government. Maybe you have it? Worst you can do is send off your specs and if not right for today - there is always tomorrow. ...and you are a S2000 owner (I had one).

As far as the bullst thing? Never bullst a bullstter. How do you think I got to my position? wink I don't have any quals either - just tons of experience.

Very true, a little bullst does go a long way sometimes but I really would be telling a whopper if I said I had the relevant experience for your current position and as much as I rate my ability I would never want to put myself or employer in an awkward situation. But if you have any sales/account management positions I would be very interested.

And yes a fellow S2000 owner (or past in your case) and it's funny as I looked at your profile earlier as I was searching for Cayman info earlier as I'm thinking that maybe the next purchase!
