This job application might something I have totally misunderstood, or it could be an elaborate hoax:


Middle-earth Model Designer: Nottingham, UK

Posted on Wednesday 20 January, 2016

[removed]

 We are looking for another enthusiastic Model Designer to join our Middle-earth team, who can realise ideas using traditional or digital methods.

You will need to be adaptable to the brief, work together with other designers and turn ideas into valuable models for our Middle-earth range of products. You will be responsible for creating exciting new models that are complementary and consistent to Middle-earth’s I.P.

You will need to work to a given brief and meet scheduled deadlines enthusiastically in a design team environment, the Forge World Studio. You must be able to turn your designs into products that can be easily reproduced by manufacturing.

We know that what makes this job hard is creating high quality new models that are complementary and consistent to Middle-earth’s I.P. within a strict timescale.

Some would say that the bolded sentence in their advert is cheeky, I find it cunty, instead of funny - I sincerely hate, with most of my heart, HR-people (just the term "HR" when used in Sweden makes my blood boil) and the idiots phrasing such adverts, as well as all these middle-level to high-level company fuckwits that are responsible for the interviews. 

This advert was actually quite nice (to be fair), with the exception of the thing noted just above. I mean, we all know you will get 10 000 idiots without credentials applying, but they will apply even if you add that little sarcastic piece of "dry" humour or whatever it is. That is not what differentiate Germans from Englenders, so redo it, Nottinghammers.

I kind of wandered off the topic here, which of course is: Can this be the path to a rejuvenation of LotR? Or is it just BS?
