Hello fellow designers. Nice to find you and I hope we get to know each other.
I am new to this forum and in UK in general. I am currently working as a freelancer with some clients, however, I am also looking for a permanent job.
So today a recruiter called me to tell me she has found a good much and that a company needs someone permanent ASAP.
The job description did not look like a Junior position to me, the salary though fitted perfectly. However, due to lack of experience in London and UK, in general, I would like to ask you your opinion.
I have asked her to send me a job description and a link to the company's website.
She hasn't sent me the company (which is understandable to a point, as all the other recruiters do send the company's details), she wasn't able to answer about the reasons they ask for someone asap and additionally, even though I have 10 years of experience, the job is for a Junior designer, for London, 20.000/per year.
I am copy - pasting the job description, and I would like to ask you your opinion. Does it seem to you that they ask too much for the salary or is it just me?
Is it also standard for a recruiter to refuse to give you details of the company?
Does it make you feel a bit suspicious when they can't explain the reasons for an ASAP opening or is it just me?
I am sorry for the long post and thank you in advance for taking the time (if) to read and help me.
