General Dogsbody Wanted!

FirstIn are on the hunt for a general dogsbody they can kick around the office. The following is a short list of absolute musts – which we will scrutinise to the nth degree if you make it through to an interview....so be warned! Must:

• Consider themselves a total geek

• Love electronics and all things tech

• Know the difference between RAM and ROM and be able to write a convincing description that makes a punter (by punter I mean an incredibly valued customer) genuinely believe they need something they don't.

• Love working from sunup to sundown with nary a seconds rest.

You'll perform a wide range of copywriting, administrative and office stuff to facilitate the efficient operation and growth of the team.

In this job, you'll learn: how to track down a power cord for a Yamaha power-saw at short notice.

Intangible benefits: Girlfriends/boyfriends presents are pretty much sorted for the next 3 years.

Potential hazards: Sourcing the wrong cord for the Yamaha and attempting to trim the tree outside.

If FirstIn were a superhero team, you'd be: The rookie cop who's just so dazzled by everything and can't wait to be the liaison between the department and the heroes. Which means you'll have super powers within the year. Bet on it.

• Writing tech blogs to keep our customers interested and educated.
