That’s right, 1000 big ones just for showing up for a job interview. In a climate where many people are struggling to get their foot in the door this seems almost too good to be true.
没错儿，只须来面试，1000英镑就是你的了。而今很多人找个工作连门儿都难进，这事儿看着美好得太虚假了。
But it is true. Midas Media, located in Melton Mowbrey in the East Midlands, are taking theunique step of paying anybody who attends a job interview with them £1,000. What legends eh? The job would be working in digital marketing.
但这事儿还真不假。坐落于英国东部区域梅尔顿莫布雷的米达斯传媒公司为了招揽人才出了一奇招，任何上店面试的人都将获得1000英镑。这又是什么鬼?据了解，该公司招聘的是数据化营销一职。
The reason for their generosity is all down to the location. We spoke to Ed Leake, the companies Managing Director and he told us:
这家公司出手这样大方，全与其所在的地点有关。在同意大家的采访时，该企业的总经理艾德·力克告诉大家说：
“If we were in London, Manchester, or Brighton we would have landed someone by now. We put the job out there and didn’t receive any applications for a month and a half.”
“假如大家的公司是在伦敦，曼切斯特，或是布莱顿，那大家早就招到人了。大家把招聘启事都贴出去了，但一个半月来都没收到任何申请。”
“After thinking outside the box a little and coming up with the £1,000 scheme we have started to see more interest. It’s all gone a little bit crazy, we’ve been on the BBC and even on TV in Canada.”
“于是大家就突发奇想，想到了给面试者1000英镑的点子，之后来申请的人就多了。这事儿忽然就火了，大家因此上了BBC，甚至还上了加拿大的电视。”
Melton Mowbray may have been the stumbling block, but this is the place that is famous for the pork pie. What more could you ask for?
梅尔顿莫布雷的地点可能是招不到的人障碍。但这地方的猪肉馅饼可是出了名的。你还想如何?
And for those who could do with an extra grand in your back pocket but don’t fancy the relocation.
那些拿了1000英镑上岗的人，可别还想着跑别的地儿去。
Unfortunately, it won’t be as easy as that. Midas Media will be conducting phone interviews first and only those who are successful in progressing to a face to face interview, during which they will have to submit a future plan, will be paid the £1,000.
但事情可没那样简单。米达斯传媒公司将会先进行电话面试，电话面试成功的人之后还要上交一份将来规划书，如此才能获得1000英镑。
Still, if you are interested in the role this could be the most rewarding job interview you ever attend.
当然了，假如你对这个职位感兴趣，这可能是你参加过的回报最高的工作面试。
A boss that pays you for attending the job interview, that’s the kind of boss we want to be working for!
连参加面试都给打赏的老板，才是大家想要效力的好老板!
