I received the following email from a colleague, and I am posting it here as a diary for all Kossacks. I remember reading a diary last night about somebody looking to make a "life change", this could be your ticket.
I've called the first number on the list for FEMA Call Center workers, and it is legit. It is for a Staffing Company that is screening applicants for the positions.
Please read the email below the fold. Please forward the information on to any and all who want to do more to help the victims of this summer's hurricane season.
Subject: FEMA Emergency Call Center Positions Available Immediately -
$15/hour EMA has a new Emergency Call Center at Prince Georges Plaza in
Hyattsville, MD near College Park. They NEED 12,000 people to work 12
hr. shifts of simply logging the hurricane victims' claims of the
location & value of their destroyed homes. The pay is $15/hr. and
$22/hr. for overtime. If interested call 301-698-1070.
Please share with interested students, graduates, people in need. If
you know any young men age 18 and up who is looking for work, FEMA is
offering $32.00 per hour for a team of men willing to go to New Orleans
to help with the disaster and damage done by Hurricane Katrina. You can
fax your resume to 281-445-0813 or call 770-696-9600 for more
information. The telephone line is always busy, I contacted FEMA in
D.C. and was provided the following:
Be prepared to leave within 3-5 days after your resume is reviewed and
accepted. Pack basic personal care items, several pairs of durable
pants, sufficient appropriate Tee shirts, underclothing, socks etc.
(like you were going on an extended camping trip). Make arrangements
for mail to be picked up and notify family members of your departure
date. Currently cell phones don't operate but they anticipate in 2
weeks to have limited service available. Electricity is rare but bring
cell phone chargers as they are being charged by generators. Personally
I'd check with my Doctor to see if my tetnus etc. was up to date.
Come with a helping heart, and be prepared to do virtually anything- as
all things help.
