I received this strange job offer. It is strange because I don't know why they would think that my skills and experiences are an "ideal fit". How do they know? They ask for my "profile" further down. The agency works "throughout Europe", yet does not seem to have a professional e-mail address.
The job is apparently "perfect" for "housewives".
I wonder if other Proz members have received this mail.
"XXXX Agency is happy to make you the following job opportunity!... See more I received this strange job offer.

I just love this sentence: "Our Enterprise feels certain that your skills and experience will be an ideal fit for our Enterprise, cause this work does not required for any special skills and job sophistications."
Flattery will get you anywhere...

Not very flattering that my skills and experience are the perfect fit simply "cause this work does not required for any special skills and job sophistications." I find it all rather funny.
Will they send me a "professional camera and suitable soft ware" in the mail to do this photography job?
I just don't get what they want, as I doubt a job that offers €20 an hour will tempt anyone to reply.

| Quite amusing | Mar 8, 2015 |
Do they have a website or a page here on ProZ.com? Have they checked your profile page? What if you weren't 18 yet?
On second thought, you have a profile here, so you cannot be a perfect fit for their enterprise because... you are a skilled professional. LOL
