Does This Seem Suspicious To You? [View All]

[THUNDER HANDS]

I was just out at lunch. After stopping off at Burger King, I exited the establishment and went and read the NY Times in my car while I had a cigarette.

This guy comes up to me and asks me for directions. I tell him, then he says "You look familiar."

And I'm like, 'mmm, okay' because I had never seen the guy before in my life.

Turns out the guy just moved to my town from Queens. We chat for a while and he tells me he owns his own business (something in marketing, I believe, he wasn't too specific). Then he says "you know, we're always looking for good people" and gives me his business card.

I gave him my name and cell phone # and he said he'd call in a day or two.

Now, my question is - is stuff like this suspicious? I've been propositioned for jobs before from complete strangers. I never thought much of it (they usually come into the store I was working in) but this time it's different.

He came up to me in a Burger King parking lot. Either this guy is a really nice guy who's on the level and is really looking for quality new people to work for him - or he's a shady cold-caller who's looking for as many live bodies as he can find.

What do you think? Have you ever had anything like this happen to you before?
