Stop with that paranoia now. But if I was German, or even living in and willing to move to Germany, and in the market for a new job I very much doubt I would have responded to your email. It is far too vague and sounds like at best it will be a sales role and at worst a dubious vapour opportunity. Over the years I have done much work through agencies, applied for quite a lot more roles than I've taken and been emailed a lot more that I've not been interested in at the time. Generally you would expect full information minus the name of the company in question, or anything that could lead directly to it within a few minutes on the internet. Your offer had near zero real information in it!! Therefore, personally anyway, I wouldn't consider it worth looking at further unless I was in real dire straights at the time. Do you only want to appeal to really desperate, possibly quite umemployble (for whatever reason) people? Or do you want the advert to appeal to the people who might actually be good at the job?? I know which I would try and attract! > I estimate that leaves approximately 200 or so Germans or people who live > in Germany on the list who have not voiced an opinion.
