Just a heads-up for any job seekers out there. Something I ran into with three jobs I was interested in applying for. These are mainly jobs listed through WorcesterWorks.com in Worcester, MA.
On at least three of the jobs, and I’m sure there are more, there were errors in the e-mail addresses. In all three, the word “and” was placed in error. For instance, one was listed as hrand@xxxx.com. So I looked up the company on Google and discovered that the e-mail address listed on Monster.com is incorrect. And for this particular job, that was the only means of communication they gave; there wasn’t a fax number or address given. So hopefully this employer won’t be surprised when they don’t receive any replies to their job advertisement! However, I sent them my resume at the CORRECT e-mail address listed on their web site.
Just food for thought–humans do make errors, even when they should be extremely careful in the job they are doing, such as posting job ads on Monster. A bit of advice would be to try to search for the company and clarify the e-mail address and fax number before trying to contact them.
