    Work the streets in their spare time, film it, get a decent following on social media, made for life
  • Bet they're queuing around the block....
  • The entire video/media industry is fucked. If you're not self employed you're working for a pittance and grossly overworked.

    I think they're just looking for some one fresh out of uni. As some one who did a film degree and managed to get a job and now 3 years later i realise how little technical knowledge i had leaving uni and how much my worked really sucked.

    don't take the piss, they've had to sell a box load of used sweatbands to offer that benefit! :wink:

    That's exactly what I thought. They are tools of the job for crying out loud
  • When they advertised for a fitness and conditioning coach the salary offered was way below the industry norm.
  • Trouble is that it's hard for graduates to get experience so it's tempting for them to take the low wages to get something on their CV.

    Also means they leave in a year or so when their CV looks better.

    This

    And, just as important, the person doing the job will be making a lot of contacts in the industry if they are smart about it. Charlton may be league 1 but they still appear on tv every week and in all the national newspapers. For somebody starting out who can live at home it would be worth doing the job for free and network for all it's worth.


  • Didn't Liam Happe start this way? He now works for News Shopper, Eurosport and does freelance stuff so it can't be a bad place to start off

    you'll get similar pay and have to work similar hours for big post houses like MPC if you wanted experience etc. And they are awful places to work

    No mention in the job description of filming fans protesting at the gates of the training ground or directoring another cameraman of fans to film protesting in the West Stand Car Park

    Or wearing those funny trousers - they're not even listed as a perk so you must have to supply your own :unamused:
  • Trouble is that it's hard for graduates to get experience so it's tempting for them to take the low wages to get something on their CV.

    To boost your CV as a CEO obviously takes considerably longer than a year.
  • suppose they could supplement their income with a small trade in only-used-once stress balls / pigs / taxis...
  • Well it's only to be expected...
  • 21,000 is exactly 10 per hour. Ouch.

    Notice no retirerement plan is included.
  • I assume the "etc" bit in Benefits include means free vol-au-vents on match day?
  • Such a job demands a graduate who will be carrying a huge burden of debt anyway. The nature and hours demanded from this job means you would probably kill yourself doing it if you lived somewhere cheap, like Skelmersdale or wherever, to live close to the office for this job means a rent and other fixed costs of probably £1,200 per month. Take home pay would be about £1600 a month (?). Not able to start paying back the student loan hanging over you because you have to be earning over £21,000 before you start paying it.
    The only realistic way somebody could manage is probably living at home...so that excludes outliers and those leaving care probably, or some kind of hostel or digs arrangement. This is not a 'warm' job offer, and it would probably need to be loaded with perks, or be done by a Charlton fan willing to make a lot of sacrifices.
  • The book "Soccernomics" has a good line about working for a club.... "Unless you are a player, manager or CEO, you get paid in stardust."
