Letter for job

Dear Sir/Madam,

                                    I am writing this letter to talk about the job role of ‘Apprentice Digital Video Production Producer’ and what I have trouble with. I assume you have an Exclusivity clause as it says on your description ‘you must not apply for other positions of this nature’.  Some things would need looking over with the contract. For example, you say that I could be working ’10 – 45 hours per week (variable)’ and ‘£15000 - £35000 per annum + benefits’. I would need to know how many hours I would work to earn the maximum wage packet and what the benefits actually are. You would also to work out a confidentiality clause and tell me if there are any trade secrets that I wouldn’t be able to share.

 “Equal opportunity is a stipulation that all people should be treated similarly, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences, except when particular distinctions can be explicitly justified”. This is a quote which explains What the Equal Opportunities legislation is, your job description fails to meet this criteria and is breaking The Equality Act (2010). This act stops employers such as you from discriminating from age, sex, race ext. Your Description talks about how you must be Christian and under 30 to be part of your organization, this is not acceptable.  Regarding the content you want me to provide, I have several problems with this and I am sure others will have the same problems. If I create this video for you, I wouldn’t be protected because I am yet to receive employer’s liability or rights. Creating this content may seriously harm or hurt others so I would be unable to make it.

In the work you asked applicants to produce, you want us to show ‘Female victims’ and ‘Male offenders’. Don’t you think this represent the genders in a stereotypical and a wrong way? Creating this video will make it seem that all males are sex offenders and female’s victims of rape. You think it won’t make people look like this? Take a look at the media. Whenever it has something to do with teenagers, they are either being violent, failing exams or getting pregnant. We don’t need to put this label on male teens as well.

Ofcom is one of the Broadcasting regulatory bodies and if they saw what you were asking us to create and who we were showing it to, they would have a field day. Firstly you ask us to Interview under 18s about rape, then you ask to put in re-enactments of rape and lastly, you say it is to be          “shown to children at high school”, this is unacceptable.  “1.20 Representations of sexual intercourse must not occur before the watershed (in the case of television) or when children are particularly likely to be listening (in the case of radio), unless there is a serious educational purpose. Any discussion on, or portrayal of, sexual behavior must be editorially justified if included before the watershed, or when children are particularly likely to be listening, and must be appropriately limited.” This is what Ofcom’s rules are on about sexual marital. Ofcom only exists because of the communications act and the Broadcasting act to protect people from harmful content. Lastly, you tell us to use a ‘popular music soundtrack that will appeal to the target audience”. This is not only obscene but illegal as it breeches Intellectual copyright law.
