This isnt a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jacks network.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect but there isnt much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search and were giving his services away for free.
