Now using Gmail to recruit world wide...
Just got this via my work mail - extremely honored to be selected by for this job and very tempted. However I feel they might have got the wrong guy?
Not sure a radio jock should be let anywhere near a gas or oil rig for any significant amount of time.
Reckon this scam is going to catch a lot of people out – especially in these times.
“SHELL JOB OFFER!!!” – nothing subtle about that one then…
Naturally I have applied - nothing ventured...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Patrick - very exited - I have added my notes below in blue as I have a few questions. Of course very exited to be selected for this. After having found out that I hadnt just in herited $4 Billion USD from my long lost North African relatives who recently died in a very sudden and tragic coup, I am pretty much desperate for work to be honest...look forward to your reply.
Could you pay particular attention to my requests re. wet weather gear. Its a deal breaker I am afraid.
regards
Richard
