I posted to alt.poly earlier today, asking for good job vibes. Basically, asking for moral support.

I've gotten a bit of that.

I also got email that (minus headers) says


We hear you are looking for a job. Our CEO visits your newsgroup. Could you
please send a resume?

Administration

is so vague as to what business they're in that I half-suspect they don't know, and about one-third suspect that it's not quite licit. "We Also Walk Dogs", or an escort service? Either way, why no name for the person who sent the email? And where is area code 319?

(I don't need the Latin translated.)

Area code 319 is eastern Iowa, and looking at the website makes me suspect it's not on the up-and-up. I suspect you've gotten a recruitment pitch for an escort service.

If the CEO "visits" the newsgroup and actually had any reason to approach you as an individual, why not e-mail you directly?

How's life jobwise, anyway?

I very much doubt this is an escort service. But it certainly looks like a means of separating people and their money.
