As you might be aware, unlike most jobs, MAF UK requires all of its overseas staff to raise £25,000 a year to help finance their role. A few of my friends have suggested that this requirement might put off a number of people applying to work for MAF. I think it is possible that some good potential candidates might be put off applying because of this condition, however I think it is a very useful way of ensuring that the applicants really do have the calling to undertake the role. This is no ordinary role. It requires most individuals to take a huge reduction in income and to move themselves and their families to a country where life might be much tougher and circumstances very different to what they were used to before. If it was just another job, paying a wage with no requirement to find their own supporters, many people might be tempted to pack in the role either before they start or shortly after arriving in the country. This would waste a lot of MAF's money and potentially increase the number of job vacancies. So yes, it's a challenge but this is why I understand why MAF asks its staff to raise £25,000 a year and besides - I like a challenge! We have around 6 weeks to raise this money, are you willing to help us achieve this?
