So today I went for the interview which was in an office that had a sign for the previous occupant over the door. Toys of Oregon or something of that nature. So I am thinking it is a toy distributor. Nope, walked into the offic where I found nothing but a desk with a receptionist that handed me a clipboard with a "Preliminary Questionnaire" to fill out. 6 chairs with two occupants filling out their questionnaires, and a blaring radio. There were also a couple of "inspirational" posters on the walls including - "risk".
I filled out the questionnaire, but felt a little weird about it considering they asked for my SSN, and asked me if I "operate my own vehicle" then asked year, make and model. Also asked for my prior work experience, education and 3 References, as well as my address.
At this point I was really starting to worry. When the receptionist left the room, I asked two of the ladies waiting for the interview that should have started 20 minutes ago if they knew anything about the company. One said no, and the other said that they could find nothing on Wheeler Imports on the internet. She apparently had the same luck as I. But she said that when she went to the restroom, she recognized some products that were sold door to door for cheap and was suspicious. I told her I did not have a good feeling about the company and she agreed.
Anyway, so when the receptionist came back, I asked her if I could look at the paperwork I had filled out so I could change something. She found it and I took it with me as I left. I told the ladies waiting for the interview "Good Luck".
