My experience is a wee different from the others; the company advertises on their website that they are always on the lookout for people to write their businessCDs; as I am a highly qualified HR expert I approached them with a view to meeting up and exploring the possiblities. I received an official looking e-mail (complete with disclaimer notice) from a Brenda Perry expressing an interest from her side also.
I then got an e-mail saying they're awfully busy at the office and could she meet at a certain hotel at 5pm; at this stage my alarm bells started ringing and I rang my dad who said that she could easily spike my drink and I could find myself waking up next to some hairy lesbian. So I declined insisting on meeting at their office and got a shi**y e-mail back from Brenda Perry saying that if I can't meet in a hotel to forget it altogether.
For all I know she's married with 6 bairns but the whole thing is bizarre; I checked out their offices, it is on the site of Noble's Pub, so there is no need to meet at a hotel a mile away; my dad checked them out and said that with a turnover of 90k over 18 months they are clowns so it is not likely they would be spending money on researchers.
Anyway, don't want to defame the lady I am sure she has a boyfriend the truth is probably that there is no one in the office apart from her and that she is ashamed of that or perhaps that she has a job somewhere and only keeps it running on paper.
