I don't see this as bizarre at all. Indeed it looks like a good opportunity to become a rather well paid (and relatively secure) travelling salesmen, particularly if you enjoy motor racing.

Go for it.

This ad has been floating around for a few weeks now and I suspect it is some type of marketing gimmick as you need to monitor the blog to find out if you've been picked for an interview. Yes I did apply for the same reason as you did and I notice they've now changed some of the application procedure as well.

Can I interest you in buying London Bridge?

This was on Radio 4 the other day, the bloke behind it was pretty much promising the moon on a stick. Sounded like a load of bks to me.

What colour would you like the Moon painted? Or would you prefer a vinyl wrap?

So, how did you guys get on? Has anyone actually heard anything other than "page cannot be displayed"?

It seems the interviews were held last week in Stoke but I wasn't paying attention to the blog so missed it. I would love to know what happened and whether this was genuine or just a convoluted way of getting a lot of people into one room to flog them timeshares.

Who has ever heard of a reputable Company requesting individuals to vote for their successful candidate by viewing Youtube interviews? It is high time that Movehut employed some competent interviewers, and not blonde bimbos, who appear to have never interviewed in their short lives! I was granted an "interview" for this position, but when crudely advised that my 850 miles round trip expenses would not be re-imbursed, declined the invitation. Having now viewed some of the unprofessional interview techniques, and bearing in mind that with an advertised closing date for applications of May 20th, this ludicrous Company was supposedly hoping to have their new employee in situ at the Monaco Grand Prix from free practice on Thursday May 26th! Says it all really!!
