How do you feel about this ad on craigslist?

I'll discuss later in the thread but I don't want to put ideas in your heads.

I think it's ridiculous.
I also think it will result int he desired effect.

**Buck** · 03-03-2007, 02:58 PM

No marine should use these tactics. Fake.

chief52 · 03-03-2007, 03:03 PM

Not sure about the ethics, but as was stated earlier I bet it gets the desired results.

Guy sounds like he is hungry and eager. I would surely give him a shot if I were looking for a remodle kinda guy.

Not being a military guy, I can not really give an opinion on the ethics of using his military background as a calling card.

no real Marine would misspell Semper Fi so badly.

Beat me to it, that's what I was thinking. Also, what does being a Marine have to do with being a contractor?

Same.

If he's the real deal though, I have absolutely no problem with it.

PastorMikH · 03-03-2007, 04:23 PM

I'm not sure about lying about the age here. Phil you're something like 10 years older than that. Seriously man, go ahead and put your real age up there. By telling people you are 27 they will assume that you are still learning. If you will be honest, people wanting someone with experience would be more likely to hire you.

You would think so. But some of them are dumb, so they joined the marines.

Finally, some truth about the Grunts!

I learned a long time ago to be very cautous with people that lead with this kind thing. I don't like it, and have found that it is usually a cover up, for something not so desirable.

Jenson71 · 03-05-2007, 01:50 PM

I'd listen to HemiEd. After I found out he killed 13 Vietcong with his bare hands and a knife, I think I'd hire him (anything to make sure he didn't get pissed at me)

Misspelling aside, I think it's tacky and pathetic. I have my Marine service on my resume but I would never use it to market my services. If it comes up in conversation I'm willing to discuss it but I'm not going to cram my veteran status down anybody's throat.

Thanks for the feedback. I was just making sure I wasn't being judgemental because I'm emotionally attached to the USMC.

Call him and tell him how a "fellow" Marine feels.
