I just saw this ad on Dave's: http://www.eslcafe.com/joblist/index.cgi?read=19686

Is this a real company or should I be weary of sending my documents?

Their website merely comes up as 'coming soon'.

Thanks in advance.

I'd say stay 'weary'! Better to be that way than be caught being wide awake.

Apparently mean leery... but seriously zoot... have you heard of these guys. The ad looks good, but as I read it, I wondered if it is another Ambermax? Teaching 12th grade? Shocked

txmsk... sending them a CV should be fine. The key to avoiding scam problems is not to send a company any financial information or cash.

Dear veiledsentiments,

Or "wary" - maybe it's a portmanteau of "leery" and "wary".

Regards,
John

VS - the same thought ran through my mind. Are they Ambermax by another name, are either CfBT by other names? Are they 'companies' wanting to get hold of CVs without too much trouble and have gotten the idea that they may be able to grab a few and then offer jobs? How do you check them out when they have no website?

For what ever reason, e-mails sent to their address are bouncing. I received 1 response and did get a response before the e-mail to this company started bouncing; strange.

Oh yes, and leery is what I meant; got my l's and w's mixed up!

That is not a good sign...

I just googled and there is a company by that name in the UK with different email. It is a .com, not a .net. There is also a company in Kolkata, India.
