That first email nagtaka na agad ako why she was asking for my home address when it's already stated on my resume plus she's asking for a "full or half body picture" kasi I've been working at home as a VA for the last couple of months and I've encountered a lot of interviews but nothing compare to this.
But I replied back and to my horror she immediately sent a reply to my email with this info:
******************
Subject: Welcome
after presenting your application/resume to our manager , he decided to give it a try and HIRE you..
our management has a specilized software/application that you will be using for the job later. and this will run
only on devices issued by us. so for that matter we will issue a "brand new" netbook(
http://ph.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1015PX/)
fully pack and with our specialized software. consider this as an extra bonus , because you can use this personally eg. games, fb,etc.
however , the device should be returned to us upon resignation/termination of contract in good condition.
we have dispatching team locally that will ship the item to you via lbc or 2go.. and we require you to
pay PART of the freight charges - P500.0. must be deposited to our certified collection agent via UNIONBANK ,
----------------------------------------
unionbank (branch nearest to you..)
acct name: hazel santos
acct# : 109451458084
----------------------------------------
or if UNIONBANK has no branch in your area , you can via WESTERN UNION or LHUILHER.
Upon receipt of your deposit, your work device will be processed and sent within 5 days.
We hope to hear from you very soon and looking forward to working with you.
