Thank God for the internet. This site saved me $6900 that I didn't have to give. Sure, the pitch was great. Yes, it helps to hear that you are management material and are worth a six figure income. Who wouldn't want to hear that when they're getting on unemployment, medicare and WIC for the first time?
Whoops. I should've listened to the warning bells, but they were too quiet next to the GREAT sales pitch.
Naturally, I couldn't pay up front. Besides, isn't that like front end loading a business? Kinda illegal, and doesn't that set you up for being a sucker? Now, after reading the first page of shockingly similar experiences, I am overjoyed that I researched before I wrote a check (or worse, put it on a credit card at 15-20% interest.)
The only downside is that after my "interviews", I felt the best that I've felt in the last 2 months since being laid off.
I'm not sure who I should be mad at. Herr Naccio for laying me off (along with 26,000 other people he's screwed at Qwest), at myself for believing a "too good to be true" sales pitch, or at Mr. Dan Umbdenstock (VP), sitting in his beautifully plush and well serviced 1625 Broadway World Trade Center location in downtown Denver (great office and view, BTW).
Oh well, like I said, thank God for the net and the power of people to tell it like it is.
(this site just went to my favorites list, too.: D)
