I sent a speculative application directly to the Solihull office (which is in fact located in Tyseley), and the next day I received a call from the Managing Director asking me to come in for a 'last minute' interview.
She was extremely honest about what the work will involve and even said that she was advertising the position externally.
She was extremely impressed with my application, experience and my interview that she made a swift decision to offer the job to me on the spot!
Although it was an exciting offer, I had to decline because of the commute to the office and to the fact she wanted to give me a very low salary. I had other interviews prior to this one and decided to pursue with one of them because they were offering a much higher salary.
However when I got home and saw the job advert, it was for the National Minimum Wage!
