I've just lifted this from an email sent out by ebike insurance. While I'd love to do something like this, there's not a chance at the moment but I thought that it might appeal to some of you guys.

I am job hunting, but that's just a little too far out of my way.

Mine too - but I'm everything a salesman shouldn't be....I wonder how long it would take them find out I'm the wrong guy for the job?

Sounds like you've got six months. So just think of it as six months paid to ride your bike round Aussie/////

Why the fuck is there a picture of "The Goose" from Mad Max on there? No one rides bikes like that any more, and the ones that did, dress like Maurice.

The Goose was the man, cooler than Max, had a better head on his shoulders than Max. He was the real biker in the film. And his bike, that was one nice bike.

Only if "real" bikers ride like The Dover and spend more time rollng 'round in the gravel than actually punting on two wheels.

Nah no, I GET it, I just mean they'd be far faster, FAR better handling without the cunting great fairing swinging off the front.

Ever ridden one?

I love the way that threads morph from one thing to another :)

Part of the internet reckons it's a KZ1000

By the way, I reckon that they'll give you a slightly newer bike to run with the job ;)

Wonder if picking out the spelling mistakes in the ad is a requirement for the application process?

Fat Tony,

I am leaving for Sydney permanently on the 17th of Mar. There I intended looking for a sales role. The position advertised would be a dream match with what I desired.

Currently working in software quality assurance with www.kiwiplan.com (http://www.kiwiplan.com) I planned to find and switch back to a sales role in Australia.

I have been public speaking since the age of 12 and currently am an active member of Toastmasters.

I will be more than capable of working with eBike insurance to create presentations and deliver them to audiences through either one on one sessions or through group talks to people in their hundreds, at bike rallies for example.

Moreover I have a full bike license that is valid for use in Australia, will be over 25 years of age in just over two weeks and I have the fitness and experience to commute several hundred kilometers at a time.

If there is any advice you may be able to pass on to help me apply for this role I would be greatly grateful.

Kindest regards,
JSG

Mate, I'm sorry but I don't know anything about the position other than what's shown in the ad above. I don't work for the company, I just got the ad as part of a newsletter that came through this morning.

However, if I could offer some advice... don't use blue type on dark grey ;)

Good luck with it, sounds like you've got the skills that they'll be looking for.

Cheers,
Tony
