Personal Experiences with HomeCS?

Posted by Cliff on from the are-they-worth-the-trouble dept.

whoami-ky asks: "If you believe the info on their homepage, HomeCS is 'the Internet's Premier work from home career portal which unites thousands of job seekers and employers everyday.' But, when you try to apply for a job through them, you're immediately asked to pony up $29.95 for a 'lifetime' membership. Has anyone used this company to successfully find a telecommuting job? They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Anybody gotten a refund? A quick Google search on the term HomeCS didn't seem to show any positive or negative feedback (I only went through the first 3 or 4 pages of results)."

    Cool, you can get a job working for SCO from home!

    At least that way, you wouldn't have to worry about getting all of your stuff packed up and out of the office when they finally go under.

      Ah I see now, they're counting all of the Linux developers as SCO employees, since SCO owns Linux....

    You know you're in too-much-coffee land when after reading that your first thought is of a Manpower executive using the profit from the difference in employer's cost and employee's salary to finance dainty frolics through open fields.
