    Taking on about 150 people in Sept/Oct, still looking for more. If you've got a business/finance/law or similar degree they'd probably take you.

    Why cant you you say money? The main reason people apply for jobs is money so why not mention it. If you say you think the salary is good etc etc it makes it look like you wanna work there.

    Because they want to see the creative answer people give, if you say money you are less likely to get the job over someone that rants about the companies policy on carbon emisions,

    shows them you have researched the company.

    Yeah true. Making it look like you've researched there company is one thing but also making yourself look like a complete bell end at the same isn't good.

    If someone told me they wanted to work for a company because they had low carbon emissions I'd laugh in there face.
