  • Really? It says to me they're looking for a recent graduate level copy writer but don't mind if they haven't just graduated or have some experience instead.

    And there are no implications which follows that, then? No quid-pro-quo at all, say in the realm of remuneration?

  • The salary will, of course, be so low that the successful applicant will be in a permanent state of suffering. How else could they acquire experience relevant to writing for Rapha? :)

  • no, you're right. They didn't mention the salary therefore there isn't one.

    Interesting post, given that I haven't said that at all.

    My suggestion is that the salary for the role will be low - and with every use of words like "opportunity" I'd knock another grand off the gross, as there is a fairly obvious quid pro quo here - the applicant is going to parlay experience for access to Rapha, a company that works in an area in which they're passionately interested, to (potentially) get a start in copywriting.

    = Whenever the job advert can be paraphrased as "by employing you we're doing you a big favour" it's not going to be win-win.
