I've heard they're looking for a "Global Brand Consultant".

The pay is £90K/year and you get a BA Gold Card.

Apparently....

Now that would be sweet.

I didn't see Sugar's comments about Katie but to say she's unemployable now is I'm afraid very true.

He said that she didn't need to do all that nasty stuff, she was talented enough in business to get by on her own merits but by going down that route he wouldn't employ her and couldn't imagine who would.
I agree.

What does a Global Brand Consultant' do for the met office?

How can you 'brand' the weather?
Do they sell Waterique Rain on QVC?

The met office is a company owned by the government but with a commerical remit i.e. it has to function as an ordinary business which means it needs to make money. Therefore it needs to go out and convince companies that its products are the best on the market at the same time competing against various other companies for the same business. And as weather forecasting is expenisve it needs to make its products as attractive as possible to get people to spend big money on them hence the needs for a global brand consultant.

Katie is like the most famous person ever, from Exeter! Well, maybe not as famous as Tommy Cooper, but he’s dead.

Are you serious? How can she appeal if she was only on probation?
