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. Item List: 4 in one (fax, scanner, copier and printer), Zebra ZM400 Bar-code printer and cards, 4 drawer cabinet and office desks, HP Pavilion HDX18-1180US 18.4-Inch Laptop (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, Blu-ray Drive, Vista Premium) Peachtree Complete Accounting Software, CYMA IV for Windows Accounting Software, MYOB Business Essentials Accounting Software, QuickBooks Pro Accounting Software and a Time Tracker
