Patrick, I write this not for dissecting your offer or with any bad intentions at all. You had complained that no one seems to be interested in your job offer. All I want is to help you understand the possible shortcomings of your offer. That's all. 2015-07-06 8:08 GMT+02:00 Patrick Shirkey <pshirkey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > Once again this seems to be a major disparity between Germans and the rest > of Europe.

That'S pretty obvious, isn't it? Therefore, "a salary" alone is not enough if you want qualified people. A *good* salary is what people want and qualified people usually get. And you should have grasped already that your job offer does not comply with the standards we have here for job offers. It is obscure, dubious an the complete opposite of a "high recommendation". That's the issue! > > However if you had your own car and you liked driving it why would you > want to use a company car? Costs, their calculability and your liquidity! If you get a company car *everything* is covered. Every repair, the fuel, insurance etc. You just have to pay income taxes on 1% of the car's resell list price each year. So the cost of using a company car is absolutely predictable. Compare this to the situation in which you use your own car for your job even if you get a bit more money: * You have to pay each repair, new tires etc. * You can't even set those costs off against tax liability if your using your private car * What if the car breaks completely? Will you have to pay for a new one just for keeping your job? * You bind a lot of cash in an object that loses value => you take all the risk that your employer should take if you need a car for doing the job. The actual price of using the car is not predictable. > FYI, previous persons who had similar roles in other parts of Europe had > very nice sports cars which they drove from place to place.

The fiscal handling of company cars is very different in other European countries as far as I know. > The simple truth is that giving away too much information on this list is > just not viable.

You got this responses not beacuse of the "choice selection of information" you gave but mainly because of the large selection of information that's missing. Information you would usually expect to see before your applying on a job offer. Moreover, as I was trying to tell you for a while, the information you gave just didn't seem attractive for a couple of reasons to qualified people here in Germany. > No imagine how bad it will be if I > actually give away all the details. Sorry for the pun, but how bad can that job be if you think you would get negative responses if we knew what it is? I don't understand this. > People round here find it enjoyable to > spend their time dissecting and criticizing every single Plank Length of > anything they perceive as not meeting their agenda. On the contrary, it's not enjoyable at all. As I mentioned above, all I try to do is help you understand why your job offer might not be as attractive as you think so that you might rephrase it in a proper way.
