    Sure wish I was qualified to write for these people. This sounds like a site I would enjoy checking out–who couldn’t benefit from some work/life balance ideas?

    Great ad, too. The details leave no stone unturned.

    Best of luck to all who apply.

  2. Bob H Says:

    Great ad , indeed. But the website doesn’t exist. Go to their WWW and you’re back to the ad? Hmmm…Raises a couple questions, no???

    The link works, but takes you to a barebones page. A grocery list of the areas they plan to cover, and contact information.

    The company appears to be based in Germany, and invites you to send an e-mail to learn when they are “going live.”

    That’s it.
