Landed a $1,600 gig on my 2nd day of signing up!

I signed up on a Wednesday and was hired for a gig Thursday! It is a "Live Event" - Gameshow Host for the Independent Film Channel.
The opportunity was placed on my calendar, I sent my info to the contact person and two phone calls later I was hired. I was flown to NYC, put up in a hotel for a night and spent a day in training. Upon completion (12 days total,3-4 hours a day) I will have earned $1,600!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!
