One of our readers recently advertised for a traffic operati The successful applicant was to be paid £5,000 a year, occu a three-bedroom flat, have a Vauxhall Cavalier and an exper account. The job was in one of England's nicer rural settinc There was no shortage of applicants. Twenty men appliE and it looked like a good crop — until it was examined.
Fifty per cent had no traft office experience, seven of /1 remainder had extreme dif culty with their spelling. Thn were put on a shortlist and i vited to attend.
One turned out to be a form employee who had been number one trouble-maker, a other withdrew the day befo the interview and the third ju did not turn up.
That poses a number questions. Did our reader a, vertise in the right place? wasn't CM. Are there no traff operators around? Are they well paid that £5,000, a frE home and car with expensE can't tempt them to a 20-vehic fleet in the country?
It's a real mystery. Anywa, the upshot is that my reader still looking.
