Ibtisam Posted February 17, 2006 ^^hey this is their fornt page: Please Note: It has recently come to our attention that an individual unknown to CARE has been posing as a CARE recruiter and soliciting payment for job placement. The solicitation is in the form of an e-mail that uses an e-mail address of "hr@care-org.it.st" and/or the name "Dr. Jackson Schmidt". If you receive an e-mail with any of these components, or see one posted on a job listings site, please know that it is not from CARE. Also, please note that CARE does not require nor accepts payment of any kind during the hiring process. We also do not make offers of employment to individuals who have not been personally interviewed. i think they got sick of visiting somalis looking for jobs: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOIC Posted February 17, 2006 Do you still need a lesson on attention to detail, dear? For the love of clarity again, Attention to detail means a direct, focused and concentrated assertion of cognitive resources extended to a particular activity.Attention to detail in short means to follow website directions!!!!!!!!

Ibtisam Posted February 17, 2006 i will appreciate it if you did not take out your day's frustration on me. Don't patronise me please. Maybe i need attention to details but what i am seeing is plain unnecessary rudeness, and in my opinion that is what needs immediate attention! Take a chill pill. :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
