I got an email from Career Builder for this job listing, I saw the title and thought it was maybe spam. Hummm it's legit? lol I should look into it, I am looking for a job so this might be good.
 
That just sounds like selling computers. Like working at Best Buy or something. But good luck to anyone who knows different. 🙂
 
I think it's a bit more involved than that, if the $20+ an hour plus benefits is correct. Hell if they want to pay me $20 an hour to sell computers fine by me that would be easy money 🙂

It's hard to find work, I'm not really interested in being anybodies biatch but a job's a job. I emailed my resume and got a response, oddly enough the link was the first site I've went to where SiteAdvisor warned me that it may try to steal my info. Now I don't exactly trust SiteAdvisor but I did chuckle that this was the first site it's warned me around hummm lol.

this is exactly what it said

Why were you redirected to this page? When we visited this site, we found it may be designed to trick you into submitting your financial or personal information to online scammers. This is a serious security threat which could lead to identity theft, financial losses or other dissemination of personal information.

with the recent DNS exploit maybe I should be careful.

*EDIT* I did a lookup on the domain MSRETAILLIVE.COM and it's coming up

Registrant:
Domains by Proxy, Inc.

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
Domain Name: MSRETAILLIVE.COM

Domain servers in listed order:
NS57.1AND1.COM
NS58.1AND1.COM


this would appear to be some sort of scam unless I'm just dumb - I don't see any infomation here pertaining to Microsoft. Seems suspicious especially with SiteAdvisor telling me to be careful.
 
it is a 100% legit posting.

and yes, $20+ with full benefits 🙂

i figured we could help people who needed a decent job, especially in this job market.

please keep the microsoft bashing out of this thread.

thanks all!

I have no doubt it's legit, the contact email you listed is @microsoft.com but Site Adviser won't let me on it even when I tell it to ignore the warning. And the lookup info isn't showing any MS information at all. I have a hard time believing Microsoft would register a domain thru Godaddy & use 1and1 to host. Again, maybe I'm just confused here 🙂 And maybe my ISP hasn't fixed the DNS exploit and this is a side effect I'm seeing.

 
Thanks SaoFeng, just fired off the resume to your friend. I returned to the US at the end of June after working oversees and need to find a new job. A position at MS would be great. I'll be sure to thank you again if I get it!
 
What exactly does this position entail? Standing at retail locations wearing a Microsoft shirt and "selling" people on how good/educational/fun/etc their products are?

it entails being a Microsoft GURU! Think Richard Simmons, only instead of loosing weight and being healthy you push Vista as the end all be all OS.

I applied, but I hope to shit they don't expect me to wear the same shorts Richard does 🙁
