Yet Another United American Offer To Me


ANOTHER United American offer to sell their crappy product came to me via email again today, this makes three times now they have sent me an "amazing offer".

Get this...they have to open 40 more branch offices by 2007.....it's 2008 you idiots update your spam to at least make the attempt at authenticity.

United American is a Torchmark Company apparently....like that is supposed to mean something to me?

Do they have to keep changing their holding company? I wonder why?

Well let's go through the motions...

I will try and see their privacy policy again at http://www.tmkrms.com/privacypolicy.asp

Nope...I just get "The server at www.tmkrms.com is taking too long to respond."

Oh Well...I wonder if people look up their name and see this article...maybe if it was attached to some tasty words such as:

Poon, Boob, Swallow, Mouth, Upskirt, Asian, BBW, Backdoor, Jugs, Huge, Cheerleader, Flash.

That may get someone's attention....

Now Remember when you think United American a Torchmark Company you think Poon, Boob, Swallow, Mouth, Upskirt, Asian, BBW, Backdoor, Jugs, Huge, Cheerleader, Flash.

Jim's place closed



Computer store couldn't find anyone to buy stuff, had to close.


I guess nobody rents videos anymore, this place sold everything then closed.



Friggin HUGE store...totally empty now


Front of it is starting to look overgrown too, windows must have been broke.




This place sold Halloween crap...LAST YEAR. They didn't even bother to take their signs down when they left....pretty huh? It's right next to the place above.


This place looks open doesn't it? It's been closed for a while now....no one goes out to eat dinner much anymore in Metro Detroit.





Welcome to Detroit

Sales? Sales! ...We Don't Need No Stinking Sales.


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.
