The sender is sending you to a page at TopResearchJobs.com (see WHOIS: http://whois.domaintools.com/topresearchjobs.com), yet he claims to be sending from CareerBuilder.com, which we just aren't buying. We're pretty sure CareerBuilder hasn't given this guy his own personal email address with them, which means it can be considered forged.
The job is supposed to be an executive manager position, but the duties read like a money transfer/mule scam (in a general way--we've learned how to read between the lines). The link is provided through a URL shortening service, which means you're REALLY taking your chances, since there's no guarantee you're going to TopResearchJobs.com or any legitimate site. In fact, you could end up loading a virus or malware, like a keylogger that keeps track of everything you type to try and obtain your passwords.
We're guessing you're not looking for this kind of hassle (or hustle). Oh, and our founder, who is AmeriCanadian, can verify that Canadians don't talk like that eh. ;)
