Got an odd email from a 'recruitment' agent today...
-
Self employed? "Someone who employs himself"? :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Perhaps something like a privateer :-)
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns. -
I've been an MVP since 2011 ((Status page)[^] - but the sheild indicates Protector, it's a diamond for MVP. If you hover the mouse over the symbol it labels it. (And I've been a Protector for ... oooo ... couple of years, I think?) :laugh:

Well, the recruiter obviously needs help, and can't find their brain! :-D

Clearly spam. Dodgy attachment, crap English, odd questions, stupid empowering tagline. Delete it, then delete it again.

I once made the mistake of posting my resume on, um, glassdoor I think it was. All of a sudden I got an absolute flood of weird spam job offers. A bunch were to sell insurance. Some were MLM type scams. A few were "package forwarding" jobs. These are jobs where you agree to receive packages and then forward them to a third party. The job sounds very official with a job description and meaningless little category codes and such. I think what happens is you pay your own money to re-post packages that will turn out to have been purchased with bogus credit cards. Depending on the scam they either pay you with a "cashier's check" that turns out to be bogus (but you don't find this out for two weeks), or they simply promise to pay you bi-weekly and then don't. When the police come knocking, there you are holding a big empty bag, and the destination you mailed to was a Mailboxes Etc. Posting your resume someplace means you're looking for work, and thus possibly desparate and susceptable to such a scheme. Did the ad mention software at any time, or was it a little vague and general?

As far as I can tell I didn't apply for anything, I just registered on the Total Jobs site...:confused:

I had this a few weeks ago. I, too, sent it to TotalJobs and got no response. I've just checked - I no longer have any copies as I had deleted it as phishing.
Yup! my copy too. Nice to know It wasn't just me!! :)
