Gd' Day Everyone, I need some input (comments, criticisms, enlightenment, suggestions, etc.) rather quickly. I'm in the DC metro area. Someone grabbed my resume off Monster and called me two weeks ago -- asked NO technical questions -- and basically gave me a brief synopsis of his company -- confirmed my salary requirements -- and said he would "circulate my resume to others in his company" and "if there was interest, he'd get back to me." Last nite -- Friday 4/27 at about 8:00 p.m., he calls again -- asks only if I'm available -- and then says I can report to work on Tuesday 5/1. Again, no technical questions -- simply confirmed my salary requirements -- and simply wanted me to FAX a copy of my certs to him. Nothing else. Then I slowed him down. Asked about benefits, including training, etc. and then asked about the "job" Turns out he has a contract with a Freddie-something? Agency and needs a NP/DP as he put it (CCNP/CCDP) to show up on Tuesday for about 3 mos. Althought he assured me that I would be a PERMANENT employee and he had other projects to put me on after this job was complete. When I pushed questions about the benefits, he offered to have his benefits person call me Monday -- until I suggested that I come to his company offices Monday to "SEE" his site. Now I have to decide whether this is really a suitable position to want to put on my resume, and whether it's really legit. I have serious doubts about someone who would hire an employee over the phone, sight unseen (I could be picking my toes, drinking beer, a fat old redneck! -- I'm not!). If he's willing to hire in such a fashion -- isn't he doing a disservice to his client -- and won't he be just as likely to fire me -- on a whim. Is this a safe job -- am I really going to get paid? What do I say to the client if asked?? I''ve got very bad vibes about this -- but I don't know if my suspicions are justified!!! All replies will be appreciated!
