Description
I applied for a job from Clark Marten Photography and was contacted 5 days later for a "text" interview. I was informed of the responsibilities and duties and was asked would I be able to handle the tasks of the position. Then I was asked why should they hire me, my location, what bank I use for direct deposits and how would I like to be paid "weekly or bi-weekly" and can I work long hours or flexible hours. Then they proceeded to tell me I got the job and I passed the hiring score with a 8 out of ten. Then I was sent a text with a list of materials I would need to work from home. I asked if I needed to purchase all those materials and why is there a certain laptop required. They responded back saying those materials are needed for the job and they will send me a check to purchase the items. I responded great how will I receive the check and there was no more responses.
