WANT TO FLESH OUT your rsum? A job at Rotterdam-based telemarketer
Telesales may be just the thing. "Always Wanted to Work in the Nude?" it recently
advertised, trying to lure hard-to-find staff. "In an office job like a call center," the
Dutch company explains, "it doesn't matter what you're wearing because
customers don't see you." This select team will operate under the name Au Nature
Telesales. Not to worry. Applicants don't have to interview naked. "We are not a
sex-line center. And we have no erotic demands at all," insists co-owner Robert
van Sligter. "We [just] want everybody in our office to feel pleasant and free."

TALK IS CHEAP
Cell phones are supposed to make our lives easier. So why do wireless companies
keep packing them with pricey extras - like color screens, Web browsers, games
and e-mail - that most people don't need? Now several companies are developing
stripped-down, single-use models, targeted for casual users who just want to take
a cell phone on vacation or stash one with their emergency flashlight. One of the
first to market will be the Hop-On Wireless priced at $30 for 30 min. of talk time.

To keep costs down, the device (about the size of a deck of cards) contains only a
quarter of the components found in a typical cell phone. It doesn't take incoming
calls, and there's no keypad or display. Instead, users plug in a earpiece (included)
and speak the number aloud; voice-recognition technology converts the sounds
into digits and places the call. To activate the phone, users simply push the green
call button. Color-coded lights indicate when the 30 min of prepaid talk time is
running low (yellow) or out (red). The lithium-ion batteries will last for up to two
years, so your minutes will probably run out before your batteries do.
