Re: Beware of this guy!

First, let me apologize to the other members of this newsgroup for going off topic for a second. Two things: 1.- You should always ask for something in writing, with a company's logo and an original (no fax or xerox) before you make a move on an offer of any kind (accept, resign, relocate, etc.). If they are interested in you they'll usually fax an offer letter to you so you can browse it if you have a fax machine, and use express mail to get you the original. 2.- I would never relocate for a job without being reimbursed, if they don't pay your relocation expenses then they aren't that interested. I am not a recruiter or a lawyer, these are my personal opinions. Tom Grenier wrote in message <3469306F.D73C7EF1@sqlman.com>... >Alan was a ( I thought ) friend of a friend.
