Carbon Monoxide Mouth

Awards - First Stage Awards nomination

After the great success (most unexpected) of the Stage Awards, inaugurated today a new category on your report: the Awards No Money!
I present now the first job.
Award "Competent and availab but not retribuited" to (I obscured the name of modesty):
"*** The club is looking for lovers of literature, cinema, theater, art and music to be included within the editorial team of the magazine's ***. If you wish to propose as a columnist, please e-mail to the Head of section for which you are bringing your application, highlighting the matters to which you have acquired greater expertise (eg philosophy, contemporary art, English literature, classical music ....) must be attached to e-mail: Your curriculum vitae , a review article (no more than 1,000 characters) on a topic relating to the theme selected. Before deciding whether to propose the candidacy in order to avoid misunderstandings and unpleasant surprises, Keep in mind that: items will not be paid, each item must ensure (at least) one article per month, participate in the establishment of a journal requires a certain amount of time then consider whether your schedule is compatible with ***, like any periodic, there are time constraints for submission of articles and failure to deliver results in the termination of cooperation. The items that will be eligible to receive an email confirmation. The application form shall be considered rejected if no response from the club for a period of 30 days from the date of dispatch.

Justification: "A demand from the enthusiasts a level of competence and assiduousness excessive for a collaboration unpaid. The honesty that borders on arrogance exudes the announcement, suggesting that anyone who works is almost due to the magazine, which requires time and effort (the specification) but does not indicate what it gives in return (visibility? Affection? Esteem? Sympathy ? certainly not money).

Every time I read such ads (inside, it is worth noting, under JOBS), I wonder if the formula is a dreamer who has or who's really clogging the box cv. If there is someone interested in you, tell me: happy to send him all the references to contact the advertiser. Besides offering tasty so do not leave it go!
