What--is that hope that I feel?

[novapsyche]

I've had a chance to see your resume online and I'd be
interested in talking to you. My name is Chuck
K***** and I'm a Regional Vice President with Primerica, a
Citigroup company. Please call me at
734-XXX-XXXX or email me at X@primerica.com. I'm
usually in during the day, but the
best time to reach me by phone is from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

Someone to whom I didn't submit my Monster resume found it anyway, and might have a job for me?

I think what I'm feeling mostly is... shock. Perhaps amazement is a better description.

Did this check out?

If I got an email like that, I would trash it on the assumption that it was MLM spam.

Well, I have been working on my Monster resume pretty intensely this week (activated two new versions; applied for nearly 200 jobs nationwide).

The phone number he gave me starts with the 734 prefix, which I know is in SE Michigan, which is where I'm from (and where I'd be staying if I move back for any length of time).

I'm definitely calling him Monday. I, at this point, have really nothing to lose. :)

Sounds like it could be legit. Do be wary if you get invited to a "business meeting" instead of an interview. The Multi-Level Marketing cultists troll the resume boards looking for likely marks to induct into their "downline."

Best of luck with the job hunt.

Take care.
