Karen, that was a very informative article. I found it surpising how many hoops you actually needed to jump through before getting the job; not at all surprised no psychic ablitity was needed (although recruiting would be very problematic if that truly was a requirement). I would have thought you only needed a sultry or Jamaican telephone voice and go through a day and a half of in-house training class before being put on the phone.
I'm curious what type of coercion they are trying to use to get you to pull the article down. You seem like the type of person who keeps a record of every stage of the process and can easily prove that you simply wrote the facts.
I've done a few psychic readings myself on the telephone. Not one of my readings ever fell below 100% accuracy. At one time I lived in an apartment complex in Atlanta. My bedroom over looked the pool area that had a pay phone in a corner near a doorway. The complex had racquetball, tennis courts, weight lifting room and recreactional area and being single I knew many of the other tenants pretty well. If I looked out my window and noticed someone I knew walking by the payphone I would call the payphone. No one can walk by a ringing phone -- it's a pavlovian responce to pick it up. I would say my name is William Crystal of the a psychic phone service and I was returning a call at that number. My victim would say no one is here waiting for a call. I would say that is fine becasue I will give you a free three minute "reading." To say this was a "hot" reading would be an understatement. I knew these people's names, occupations, partner's names, roommates if they had any, love life problems. I even knew what they were wearing, holding in their hand and the look on their face at any given moment.
"I see your name starts with a J. Jim? No, you prefer James. You like to play sports don't you. You have some concern about tonight don't you. A date with a woman, her name starts with an A, Anita? Yes, you should be concerned about tonight. She expects you to bring something and you don't intend to bring anything. That would be a mistake to go empty handed. I see something about your car. It's grey and Japanese isn't it? Well it needs a complete cleaning if you want tonight to go well."
I had a lot of fun with that. Only about 25% of the people I talked to pointed at my window and said, "This is you, you SOB Senex!" As I good psychic I would never "fess up" to anything anyway.
Beauty!
