Interns don't get paid, right? :S This is also just for six months, so I doubt they'd be offered an actual job at the end of that time limit. . . So can I ask what's in it for the 'interns' and 'freelance' that apply? Do they get offered wages, or maybe just recomendations or experience at the end? Just I don't see why anyone would volunteer to be slave labour when you haven't really said what's in it for them :P

I am leaving this up because it is Japan-related, but in no way does it explain what position an applicant is applying for and what they would do.

What is your "direct link to Japan"?

You "plan, organize and communicate" what "on many levels"?

You offer what "challenging tasks" in what "young and dynamic team"?

"You will get the opportunity and insights into" what "industry and" what "related tasks"?

"In our team you will work on several market-specific projects, including participation in analysis, development and implementation of projects in the areas mentioned above."

In what markets? In what areas mentioned above?

It's like there is a paragraph missing.

Don't you have a link to your company website? When I google, all I can find are ads like this one on public blogs and forums.

Is there any specific reason why an organization such as yourself is using a public provider 'gmail' e-mail address and not a company specific address?

Who are you propositioning, besides? There are people of many different countries here, so what provision do you make for people currently living outside of Germany? Are they expected to move to Muenster or operate footlessly, and if the former, how can they expect to be aided in moving to, living and working in Muenster? More to the point, who should prospective employee's be propositioning? What's the name of the point of contact?

What "other required documents"?

I would recommend to other forum members that unless JPP can answer all the questions posed satisfactorily to not send them ANYTHING, and certainly don't send any personal information.

PS: From what I can gather off of the old ads JPP was making this time last year (limited german skills, but still~):
a) Same kinds of poor editing
b) Same e-mail address
c) Utter failure to address any questions
d) Comments that were made rather inane; thus
e) No real progress on the professionalism front since 2008-
So even if this IS legit, I wouldn't want to throw my lot in on an internship at a company where the HR department does such a fail job and the company doesn't even bother to correct this or re-vamp any of their tech. Sounds like a bad deal.
