Mining Investor Relations
 

This posting came through a network - amazing opportunity with a fantastic group. Do a quick search on Grosso - Italian suitmaker turned mining mogul, even Sprott himself (of the fund SAM) is a regular contributor to his new seed projects.

do you work with Christine? seems like everyone knows her!

Met her a few times = ) Vancouver's a small town!

the mark of a good recruiter ;)

not trying to piss on the parade, but recruiters in this town are a bunch of pretentious twats, that's why they fit in so well in vancouver

they add very little value (i just went through a year of trying to move from one job to another, ended up finding a great job, in fact, a terrific job/career move, but the amount of BS i went through with recruiters is unbelieveable

and no, i'm not schmuck with little education/bad references - quite the opposite

anyways, this seems like a great opportunity, mind you, if i'd been working for 5+ years in IR, i'd expect more than $90K, then again, i don't know what you'd need to have (education wise) to be in that position

Haha I can understand where you are coming from, after all headhunters are on commission so they want to stuff you in the easiest category possible, whether or not it really suits you is another issue. Just an honest approach to everyone's incentives.

An IR post can have people from all walks of life, similar to a Investment Advisor. Typical candidates will have finance experience, brokerage firm exposure, investment product understandings (securities), and a good network of industry contacts.

The biggest incentive in alot of these firms tend to be options as many of these companies are sub $100 million market cap and the potential for them to go up 5x+ is certainly up there for the right deposits and management team.

If I remember correct you're a CA, there's a huge amount of jobs available in the auditing/CFO front in mining you should do quite well = )
