Technical Administrator wanted - not Gumtree muppets please!

[Goughie]

One of my clients has put this ad up on Gumtree to try and fill a position:

http://www.gumtree.com/london/95/47324495.html

The money's not great, but I've had over 100 responses in 5 days. I like the look of about two of these for a first interview...

Anyone interested or know anyone with half a brain who may want to take this on? PM me if so! Lots of interest no doubt, but no one made of the right stuff.

u get more than that on benefits - think it will only appeal to terrorists who want to poison the royal household...

What benefits? £65 per week does not add up to £17K?

Housing benefit - £540 p/m
Job Seekers - £260 p/m

17k / 12 - 22% (ish) = £1100 (ish)

1100 - travel - 160 = £950

benefits - £800
work - £950

Why work for £150 p/m

[Silent1]

£17k per annum is he on crack?
A bog standard helpdesk job in Cambridge starts at £23k, for that job I'd say £27k is realistic.

[jdbecks]

that sounds like someone would be quite over worked for 17k a year

similar to what the other chap said but based on someone i know:

£65 a week = 260 a month
Council tax paid £100 a month
housing benefit £850 a month
housing extra £25 a month

= £1235 which is £ 14820 net which is roughly £18525

therefore £1525 better of a year in benefits esp as with working u'd have to pay commuting etc etc


welcome to labours britain..

I would say £17K is a fair salary to be honest, plenty of people would accept £17K for an admin job.

[M400 NBL]

If they live in London, £17k isn't going to go very far.

If they live anywhere where £17k is a decent wage, it will cost them too much in terms of time and money travelling, to make it worth their while.

Still, if they've had plenty of applicants I must be totally wrong.

Though 98 of that 100 are probably retarded monkeys.

And the other two probably applied for the wrong job anyway
