    Does anyone have any experience with...
    Meltwater?

    I was going to apply for this job as an International Management Trainee at Meltwater, read up all about it and though it was the right company for me, until I came across this blog that was so anti-meltwater, and there were comments about this position being misleading, and they come by the dozen.

    Of course, it's ringing alarm bells. Does anyone have experience with this company, or with this role?

    I'm also not too fussy with jobs at the moment, so this is why I'm asking if it really is that awful. Thanks!

    Contrary to popular belief, putting an ambiguous/unfinished title doesn't entice more people into the thread and get you more relevant replies.

    It just makes you look needy and desperate, and annoys people who have to click to find out whether they are able to help or not.

    So, why did you reply, was it to give me the satisfaction?

    Just in the hope that, in the future, you'll create more appropriate thread titles .
