Student Brand Ambassador... so basically your a rep. Also know as the annyoing person who comes into Smiths every Monday and moans because their posters have been *lost* in the bin...

Hardly working for a major film company, more like working for a company who works for a film distrobution company who works with a major film company.

What?! That's BRILLIANT, assuming you mean it's like a caramel bar but with creme egg goodness inside.

Otherwise it's shite.

If you have a read of the actual job role you may realise that it's nothing like the job you have described whatsoever. This is a great opportunity for any student who would like to pursue a career in Film Marketing. It's a foot in a door. If anyone is from one of the cities listed above, and in their first or second year of an undergraduate degree, then you need to apply soon...!

or so they're the ones who bring the massive FSDUs to you on a Sunday afternoon and promise that if you don't sling it right away you can get a free dvd at the end of the week?

Why do I get the funny impression that this job opportunity's proving to be just a tad less popular than the one for a refuse disposal operative?

Do I also assume that the thread title started as "for Buena Vista", but got edited when it became apparant how popular the job wasn't going to be?

And, finally, I love the "leave it to levy" name too. This bloke's ego's nearly big enough for his user name.
