Job offer this morning from Algomod Technologies Corporation via email.
The email said "they strongly urge me to contact them immediately" about the position....sheesh could they try any harder to be a sales company. No one says that shit...no one.
Google search shows a few people don't recommend it...some of the accusations from the net were a) body shop, b) spam house, c) poor pay.
Nothing TOO incriminating but enough to make me doubt the validity, so to email filter hell it goes.
I actually had two positions appear in local papers that wanted hard copy resumes only, which I thought was weird, especially for technology firms in this day and age.
Aren't hard copy resumes sent in envelopes going the way of the dinosaur?
One was for a fortune 100 technology company, the other for a local school system IT department.
I have had to look through the flood of mail that comes from a want ad, who the heck would want that on paper? It was hard enough getting hundreds of applicants via email.
So back online with the shotgun approach to getting hired, apply to hundreds and hundreds of places and hope to get two call backs.
Best advice I received so far was from a Detroit Daily Dirt reader in the comments fields.
Something to the effect of "Hunting online is a waste of time, better to use your network of friends"
She couldn't have been more correct, a friend asked for my resume over the weekend...hope it works out.
Welcome to Detroit
