I have the pleasure in inviting you to be part of our high professional team named SE Company, which is rapidly developing on the market. Based in Chicago SE Company founded in October of 2007 on the fundamental principles оf applying state-of-the-art petroleum and natural gas exploration and extraction technology to the development of onshore oil and natural gas projects.

The position currently open at the company offers remarkable growth prospects in fields such as сonsulting and management. By agreeing to this position you will have to carry out the following duties described below and to provide you with all the necessary information, you will be involved to the required training, during which you will learn how to perform specific tasks.

  • Performing other required tasks if they appear

      In such manner, we try to use all our operating resources to achieve a positive effect in our companies work.To help you better understand work of our team let me give you an example. If our engineers are working every week outside the office, they need to provide reports to us about their work. Therefore, they need to send the required documents to the main office. In some cases, It is not possible for the engineer to prepare the required reports due to the conditions where explorations are held and they don't have access to the computer. And work with the computer is the only way to transfer the information collected during research to the coordination manager for the required processing.

Has anyone ever heard of Artech Information Systems, or Acro Service Corporation. They are both staffing firms. They call me quite regularly asking if I'm seeking employment. They tell me about a position and ask if I'm interested and can they submit an application. I always tell them yes, and please do. They immediately send what they call a confirmation e-mail requesting personal info like DOB and part of my ssn. The very first offer I got I supplied the requested info. and sent my reply back, but never heard anything except for two more calls that week about the same job. I informed them that my application was suppose to have already been submitted. A week or so goes by and they call me about a completely different position, with another company, but never acknowledge what happened with the last one. I have never gotten past the "confirmation emails," and stopped providing any personal info because they just seem shady. They sound Indian or Middle Eastern. I finally told them to stop contacting me and began to get calls from callers with similar accents claiming they were the IRS, or Student Loan Program. My questions are am I the only one? Did they sell my info to identity thieves? Are either of these companies legit? And if so has anyone gotten a phone interview, face-to-face or a temp assignment through either? I keep hearing stories about people getting offer letters, showing up and filling out paperwork only to have the offer retracted. If they tried something like that with me, my right hand to God, I would lose it.

Is it just me that is experiencing this? You apply for a job as a customer service rep and. Theyre all sales jobs. 100% commission. That would be fine if they would state that in the.job summary. So you go to the interview, its not the job you applied for, the position, or.the same.pay scale. And are all google.hangouts interviews scams? I get 2 or 3 of these a week. All these employers are lying about positions, the pay scale, and dont give you all the information in the job summary. I feel misled, lied to, and confused . But mostly outraged. I schedule my.interview on my days off, get dressed up, arrive early only to find out i wasted my time. The job isnt even working in an office, its an outside sales job. Can anyone else.relate to my.frustration?

Recruiter phoned me just today, scheduling a next day job interview. Salary starting @ 40,000-60,000. Job description is to explain & assist healthcare/insurance application to employees. Question asked: Do I have a car? Recruiter told me to dress formal, bring 2 references' name & #, my resume & expect to be in interview for 2 hours and it will be intense. I was thrilled. . . .until recollectin'my memory of last summer . I had 1 crappy experience with SAME Insurance agency. Recruiter did not mention I'd be in a session with 20 additional job seekers listening to some guy standing before us all as he make his looong, drawn out presentation about how to earn soooo much money and make it to the top! He chats and demonstr8 using slide show. Someone's cell ph may vibrate and he scolds them. No one is dressed in formal attire. "Interview" goes beyond 2 hours. No refreshments. No h2o. The speaker stated "Ask NO Questions until after the entire presention. HE TALK, TALK, TALK. He makes a plain statement that everyone will not get the job. I stood up to excuse myself from the group and he went off. I stated 'I was headed to the restrm'. (....and will not be back. WHAT A WAIST OF TIME, GAS & CASH y'kno I'm starving by now!) I don't think I was employed at that time and I am certainly not losing money on that joke of a job. I would have to drive my vehicle to various county residences who are employed. Not my forte.

I recently received an employment agreement with a potential employer and sent it back to them. They in turn sent me a direct deposit form for my first paycheck. The company seems kinda shady whereas i cant find out much about them on the web and I'm wary about giving out my routing #'s and banking info. Is this a scam?

Person on peopleperhour posting job accepts offer and handles interview on Google Hangout. Interview company information seems legit until they want to send you a check only for software vendor. They sent me a check that did not deliver. Spoke with Fedex who sent the package back to sender. The person goes by Michael Cage using Dubai Healthcare name.
