The Foundry strikes again!

I have to admit, they are very persuasive people. I recently got another mail from SigEx Ventures, they are even friendlier than ever before. Let's see what they write this time:

"Your Intelligence Report for Friday January 19, 2007 by Silvia Baldin
The experience of a lifetime

Ever wondered what it would be like to get away from your been-there-done-that type of summer? You know, where you get to go to trips to the seaside or go camping in the mountains with a bunch of pals, or just linger around, in a fuzzy laziness state of spirit which floats all aroud you, knowing its time NOT to have a purpose for 2-3 months? Yes, I 'm sure you know the feeling.

For those of you holiday winners who have their minds set for thrilling adventures, who breath for a sip ( ok, a gulp) of adrenaline… and most of all, who want to prove to themselves and to everyone else that they can be independent… behold Work & Travel with a Twist, right at The Foundry, in the south of France.

Think & Travel
That should be more likely. For what I’m about to share with you has nothing to do with working, in the traditional sense. Once you come here at The Foundry, as a student fellow and part of an elite training center and career development center – your ‘ 9-to-5 ‘ will be anything but ordinary.

It is here, within our revolutionary youth training center – that we placed the thinking higher than the work itself. For we bring ideas in, we shape them , mould them, twist and turn them, spice them with droplets of extreme management techniques and voila! – we have our Think& Travel right here in, on the 7th floor of the Piano Building.

What’s it all about
Right, so I gave you the nice gift, wrapped in shiny paper with a lovely ribbon. Now we’ll open it up, as in I’ll get down with the point and explain what we’re all about .

Basically, The Foundry as ideological concept and distinct juridical entity has been created as an advanced training, research and development organization aimed at attracting young professionals in the fields of system engineering, enhanced telecommunications and business management. The Foundry experience entails a wide array of best of practice business education efficiently combined with challenging practical projects- bound to raise the bar of professional excellency of the attending candidates and ultimately, provide them with in-depth knowledge of the telecom business . Based in Sarasota, Florida, The Foundry has expanded its ground to enticing locations such as Paris, London, Pau, and will soon open its door in Eastern Europe as well. The Foundry deals with developing retraining programs, promoting technology research and launching new ventures as part of a major job creation initiative , undertaken on behalf of its client, SigEx Ventures Inc, pioneer of the new Enhanced Communications Industry.

How do You get IN?
Easy like a cupcake. Since we aim for the best of the best and we settle for nothing underneath that, the selective process for the student fellows entails a few steps : Step one, you show your interest by sending us your resume and a short motivation to recruiter@cantellcommunications.com.

Subsequently one of our recruiting team members will call you to get to know you better ( and don’t worry, we’re very friendly and easy-going, so no need to prevent your knees from shaking ).Afterwards we’ll send you a little task to complete, within your area of expertise, whether business or engineering. And ultimately we’ll wrap this whole thing up with an offer letter of acceptance to one of our programs, the Leadership Program or the Fellowship Program. Sounds cool? I can see you nodding.

The Work and Travel is our collaboration with you, and we depend on your feedback. We hope you’ll visit our web site and learn more about us: thefoundryschool.tv. To unsubscribe, click here."

Cupcake, indeed. Check out the Google-like logo. This time they wrote to me from a different domain, probably knowing that sigex.com lands directly in my spamtrap.
