Amazon is not the only one playing games. I'm job hunting and these temp agencies will post jobs that they don't have. Either someone new at the agency is trying to figure out how to post a job on an Internet job board, and the same job ends up posted like 30 times, or the agencies will get your resume, send it out to say 30 potential customers(employers) to see if they bite and sign up the agency for a client. Meanwhile you drive over to the agency to interview, and poof, the job magically disappears from their database or it was just filled by the person before you. Imagine that. And then the coup de grace, you interview with the employer, who ran his own ad in the newspaper, and find out some agency sent them your resume without your permission, and they can't hire you because it would be a conflict and they would end up paying some finder's fee to the agency. So the moral of the story is don't believe any postings on the Internet until you check it out beforehand. I am now calling the employment agencies, and I'm blunt, and ask them if they are just fishing with my resume, or if there's a real live available job. And if they don't want a very unhappy person, I usually get the truth. ↑

I wonder if the person posting the ad has somehow manipulated the code to increase the price with each visitor, sort of like using a visit counter. CLICK HERE TO JOIN XOMBA TODAY!
