Can't spell, can't write, this company should do well designing web sites!

I do not consider job announcements that lack a salary range and a web link.

Don't jerk us around. They know what they're expecting to pay a position. Keep it secret and they'll attract desperate, unemployed or unemployable people.

If I'm not given the employer's web address, uhh, is the company hiding from me? What gives?

I want to check you out as much as you want to check me out. Be up front and save everyone a lot of hassle and wasted time.

If that reads weird it's because I changed a bunch of 'yous' to 'they,' but I didn't edit well enough.

*raises hand* Desparate right here. :)

Their website is easy enough to find. Not to mention that the ad says the email forwards to a hotmail address. Why not one of their email addresses? Smells like a scam.

I would be freaking out if I saw this and was a client.

I second that, JB. As a job seeker, I wouldn't give these guys a second glance. As a client, I'd consider it a lesson learned and quietly look around for someone else.

"We are a real company with real clients..."

If you have to tell people you're real, how real are you?
