As a recent college graduate in January/ February I moved back to Houston to pursue job interviews, and Eventive Promotions was one of the first companies that I had heard back from after applying off Monster.com.
I went to the first interview and everyone was dressed professionaly and acted the part so I set up a second interview.
On the second interview they informed me that I would be paired up with two employee and going with them to "follow them in the field."
I had driven down there and told them I would follow them, when the guy said, "We like to ask a few questions and hold part of the interview in the car, so you need to ride with us."
Like an idiot I got in the car to travel completley across town (Sugarland to The Woodlands, over an hour away) Upon arriving I found that not only is it A PYRAMID SCHEME! But the man interviewing me was the most unprofessional person I had ever met. The job is fingerprinting kids at Toys 'R' Us or probably something similar, and selling books, calanders, videos to parents. They make it sound fun and exciting when they are just ripping people off in the first place, they get all that stuff for free from Charity.
When I said I was intersted in moving to Austin he commented about how he hated Austin because of the "queers", note I just met the guy. He also made repeated sexual advances on his co-worker, telling her to leave her boyfriend and "get with him". He said the people that lived in The Woodlands were "rich snobs with more money then they know what to do with, and that they'll buy anything". (I am from The Woodlands)
At lunch, which I paid for, I told him that I was not interested, and he told me "Well thanks for coming out, now you can either hang out with us for the remainder of the day or you can find a ride home"
I drove an hour from The Woodlands, to Sugarland, to ride with him back to The Woodlands to have a friend come pick me up and take me back to Sugarland, so that I could turn around and go back home... To the Woodlands.
