$21 bucks an hour lol. No thanks.

 

[Jeedia]

^^Lol bad math!! Its over $43 /hr depending on "living expenses" costs.

That is the biggest load of crap you could imagine.

The sarllc.com is the domain name on a engineering company in Atlanta.
Who wants to be "payed" every two weeks ?
Who wants to work with people that are doing armed security 12 hours a day 7 days a week?? Not much chance for a fatigue error there at all.

Complete scam.

If they misspelled PAID then I'd look the other way. Any intelligent person knows it's PAID.

I took a job similar to this when I moved back home in the early 2000s. I did one 90 day stretch and called it quits. It was quick money, but no longevity at all. I took the money I earned and bought a couple suits to wear during job interviews and saved the rest.

If I were retired and in better health I might go for something like that. Plan on spending a couple of years enjoying the beach life, with someone else paying my way there and back. I worked 12 hour shifts for a lot of years, so that is not a deterrent. Bring the wife along and work a year/ and take another year off. Everything here is already paid for, so it's just a working vacation.

When I was younger I would take jobs based on where I could see some new country. So this would not be anything new.

Sure, if it was a real job & not a scam/phishing expedition...

Indeed. And..

"Pay- by weekly
Must be willing to stay a minimal of 90 days"

Anyone with any education at all, let alone an entity fielding a billion dollar contract would use the proper "bi-weekly" and "minimum of..".

Sounds like a phishing expedition to me.

"Armed Security on FEMA sites"....

 

[DenimChicken]

In the interest of playing devil's advocate, might not be a total scam, but might be a small fly by night operation who jumped on a contract and is scrambling to source the bodies to do the mission.

I see you have never worked on the road. Your "expenses" at home don't just go away so its $21 per hour (average) and if they feed you that helps put money in your pocket. If your expenses were not part of it your looking at a minimum wage job.

 

[The Heretic]

Certainly a person would need to do their due diligence to make sure the offer was legit and works for them.

Land, Sea & Air Resources LLC appears to be a legitimate company. If you go to their contact page, there is the typical ADMIN contact for anyone interested in the Puerto Rico project. linky [Contact]

They may be but someone putting up an ad that looks like those Nigerian send me money ploys? Even some fly by night could use a simple word doc to make sure they spelled stuff correctly. This sure looks like someone is hoping people will send in info they can then sell.

Oh, I totally agree and assume it is bogus. If the Facebook posting was legit, you'd expect it would point any respondents to the company website. Hard to believe an actual employee of Land, Sea & Air Resources would [1] bypass existing company links and ask that responses be sent directly to him/her, and [2] post such an unprofessional alert with spelling and grammatical errors.
