It certainly pays to do your homework prior to commiting oneself to such a frivolous sales pitch -those who get caught up in the notion that they will be earning a substantial income when they come aboard First Investors Corporation. I learned that today on my interview. Allow me to explain.
I live just outside in the Albany, N.Y. Area and today I was invited to the first of 3 interviews that one needs to go through before they become an associate -not a one on one interview as I originally was told by the regional recruiter named Noah Greco -rather, a group interview that consisted of a handful of fresh out of college graduates. I was eager to know of the ins and outs of what it takes to not only earn a substantial amount of money as I noted above, but how to maintain the ambition, the motivation, and being driven to succeed. I walked in the door of the local First Investors office, signed in, then was directed into a conference room were I was given brochures of what the company is all about.
The gentlemen that spoke to us was quick-witted, and well equipped to throw his character at me. Extremely self-centered and very much egotistic, his method (s) of attempting to sabotage me nearly worked. But I knew all too well to fall for something hookline and sinker. Obviously, this gentlemen certainly has not fully actualized his potential as a human being -in other words, he hasn't reached his full human stature. He is without question a brilliant tactician who seeks out those that he can exploit... Hmmm, that certainly sounds like the overall theme of the company does it not?! What the gentlemen failed to mention is that his company is just as deceptive as many other corrupt institutions and has been the subject of fraud -he boasted about how his company earned this amount and that amount by going into several statistical catagories and even touched on several examples of local associates that are earning a six-figure income in just under a year, those that have earned $40,000-$50,000 in just under 4 months, and, about how he and his fellow associates, including the big bosses, go on all expense paid lavish trips around the world living that jet-setting lifestyle. Goodness, it wouldn't be complete without the fact that he noted how beyond drunk he and his fellow associates get all the time when they go on such trips.
The group interview lasted just under an hour and a half. Bottom line? I'm not convinced and I hope that, while I am not able to speak on behalf of the ones that were in attendance for today's interview, I hope to save someone unnecessary grief if they are to continue the process of becoming a First Investor associate... Not to mention, with the condition that the economy is in today and with the standard of living that keeps on going up, who would want to experience such grief from this company, let alone, become one of their associates?! And, I might add to what Coguy from Denver Colorado stated in his experience with First Investors... Is that, as I personally was, you are told right up front, that:
1. You are a salesperson -nothing more -nothing less.
2. You might be wondering as I was... Where are the benefits?
3. You are solely responsible for your own expenses -nothing is free!
4. You don't need a college degree even though I have one that is in the
complete opposite field (Criminal Justice).
