<div class="IPBDescription">and I can't rescue her...</div> it's actually pretty funny. she told me she got e-mailed by someone who saw her resume on monster.com and wanted to invite her to a group interview for an 'account manager' position, which is odd since she said she was only looking for jobs in the publishing field. she read that she'd be making $60k a year, which is a lot for someone right out of college, so she went anyway.
she just arrived and called me from the parking lot, asking me to do a quick internet search to see if I could find out whether she was supposed to be there at 7 or 7:30. I googled them: Primerica. skimming the results, I saw a couple things that suggested it might be a scam, and I told her that. she said if they made her dress up and go all the way out there for a scam, she was gonna be mega ****. I told her I couldn't find any mention of a time for this particular 'open house' so she just went in...
since I got off the phone with her, I did more reading. it's an UBER scam - one of those things where you make money by signing more people up, to sign more people up, etc...
poor girl, she's having such a hard time finding a job and this is going to make her feel even MORE crappy. I hope she's not trapped in there for hours...
edit: lesson learned: always google a company before you go for an interview with them <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I find that ammusing that Cagey gets a special group[/OT]
Yea, and after you show your GF that google result, she may rethink any and everything said at that meeting, so don't worry <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
At least if she has common sence.

Admin Controll Panel
And I thought Nem) was just an Administrator.
This is probly one of those things, like on another Mod forum, where I happen to be an Admin, that certain admins are not allowed into the Dev forums, and others are. To the admins not allowed in...

this is why Cfor is the king
he understands ice cream.
For added fun, be sure to dress up as a Pyramid Head, cut the power, fill the room with smoke, and mercilessly hack to death every person in the room. Make sure your girlfriend watches.

[edit]But back on topic: I don't know if the "company" will take kindly to you entering a room they've rented/bought to make their presentations...but you should be safe standing outside the door as they leave handing out printouts of stuff you've found on google.
she's just, of course, not gonna go for the 'follow-up'. I hope they don't spam call her.

You just broke my mind.
