I got an email with job offer, from replying to a craiglist posting. But for some reason it looks like a scam: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfsq4btf_256g5c6f9r2

Do u think it's a scam or not?

Looks OK, but some of these firms are a bit erratic, and you don't hear from them for ages, then all of a sudden they hit you with something.

This is an invitation to an interview, which is what's supposed to happen.

I'd say check it out, get more info, see what happens. So far they're doing things correctly.

Also to increase my chance of being hired should I put the least amount for "desired salary" section?

Also what should I put on my resume? I don't have any job experience in manual labor, just two gigs in music performance and language interpretation. Should I put that?

Salary: Check out the market wages, just to be on the safe side, and so you know the rates. They're offering $16, which is probably about right for entry level.

With any luck this will be a basic manual job, no trades experience required. You may not be expected to have experience, but just basic alphanumeric and comprehension skills, so if anything your interpretation skills might be a plus.

If this is just a basic job, all they need to know is that you can do the work and understand instructions and regulations. I'd say these guys are baseline recruiters, filling jobs as fast as they can.
