Besides the fact that your message is essentially unsolicted advertising
and as such is unwelcome here, it appears as if you signed someone
else's name to it.
"Jim Garrett
Recruiting Manager
Human Factors International"
Jim Garrett is located in Iowa
Your IP indicates that you are located in Spain.
And as was pointed out by someone else:
"It's unusual for people to read an ad for some arbitrary service with
which they have no affiliation and to be seized by the urge to place a
note about it in multiple Usenet newsgroups in which they don't
participate purely for the benefit of people they don't know."
It's not just unusual, but rather unheard of. This sort of thing (to
this extent) is never done by a disinterested third party. There's
always a hidden agenda.
