Not Fishy At All

So, the job search continues. I've been getting actual face time with real live human beings here lately, and I am hopeful that one of those opportunities will turn into a real live full time job offer. The wait continues though. In the meantime, I thought I would share the most interesting job search related item to turn up in my email inbox lately.

Seems legit. What do you think?

Given the interesting grasp of the English language sentence structure and syntax, I'm guessing money laundering for drug cartels or middle man for Nigerian scammers.

Either way...just not interested.

    What? Miss out on those opportunities! Just imagine, with the drug cartel thing. Free guns from the feds in their Fast & Furious Christmas promotion. Then, get murdered and have your body dumped in a mass grave.

    Nigerian Scammers? Here is your chance to learn a foreign language AND have your bank account disappear.

    I am surprised you were able to resist the temptation.

      JPD, as strange as it may seem, I chose to forego this amazing opportunity in a growth industry. I just can't abide working with the possibility of dealing with the ATF and I like my bank account just the way it is.
