OB, minimum wage is $7.25. Twice that isn't great, but for a general-labor (read: basically unskilled) job that offers paid OTJ training to boot, nuh-uh.

Well of course it's not going to be in the WP, how many high school dropouts read the WP?

You said today's paper, but fine, I don't think they pay to put it in a podunk paper like the Easton Star-Democrat either. My point is, this is plainly a scam, not a hidden sales job. I've responded to (but not actually bitten) plenty of both, and there are distinct differences to their approach. The crap-sales jobs don't make you jump through pointless hurdles like going to a website to fill in information for "security purposes" (which doesn't even make sense). There's no reason for a skeezy sales job to give even the most minuscule fraction of a **** about my resume. They hard-sell you the job the way they want you to sell, by making personal contact and steamrolling you into it: "okay, so you'll be working X selling X to X and here's how you do it..."
