I really can't blame anyone for not responding to your message.
In fact it has all the traits of the type of 'job offer' I would
advise anyone to ignore in the same way as one should ignore ads
for blue pills or Nigerian money transfer schemes.
You don't provide any hint at all as to the nature of the job,
the employer, the type of contract, required qualifications etc.
nor any piece of information that could be used to evaluate the
offer in a rational way.
What the hell is 'multimedia hardware' meant to be ? What are
those 'interesting places' one should visit ?
What you offer could be anything from driving around the country
to replace defective flatscreens in shopping centers and railway
stations, to demonstrating some new technology to a specialist
audience.
What is even more obscure is your role in this. Are you the
employer ? If not who is and how are you involved ?
