Reporting good
So I have been on the hunt for a job these past few weeks and I came across a Data Entry position on Careerbuilder.com. I swallowed my pride and went it is some kind of experience it will help in the long run. I sent an email with my resume. About 5 min later I got a response from the company. It went a little something like this.
Very impressive resume. "Company Name" would like to offer you the position of Data Entry Specialist effective immediately! Starting salary $16.45 per hour with benefits and medical.

this email came from a post.com email address and so becoming suspicious of the money order deal I went to my friend google. A company in Des Moines, IA turned up and so I went to their site to check it out. No data entry in the company, it is all CS consulting (for very good pay too)
So I called the company to let them know something not so good could be going on in their name. I talk to the man who answered the phone for a bit and then he put me through to the president of the company. She was very nice and got all the information from and will be looking into the matter, and will be letting me know how it turns out. I also asked about applying for one of their open positions. She asked me about school and some of the things that I had done and said that right now they just finished a project and are placing all of those consultants, but as May gets closer she said they might have a position open up there.
So thats the biggest news i have had in a while and I know i really need to post much more often and I will do better I hope.
