Business Studies teacher wanted.......

My S4 Business Management class are currently working through the Human Resource Management unit and having prepared a job analysis, job description and person specification for a Business Studies teacher at St Ninian's, they then had to use MS Publisher to prepare a small job advert for the Herald or Scotsman. They used the internet, job papers, myself and the Business Studies Principal Teacher to come up with an advert that would attract the right candidate to apply for the job. I was particularly attracted to the advert which highlighted the "13 week holiday every year!".
