Beware of "Entry-Level Marketing" positions that require "No Experience, " but promise that you will be working with "Fourtune 500" companies, or high-profile accounts like professional sports teams— No multi-million dollar account is going to be seviced by someone with "no experience necessary"— think about it.
How to spot these scams:
1) there is no real website for you get any specific data (compare the following: www.homedepot.com/careers
www.terrawholesaleinc.com/
—Real companies offering real jobs will have real information about those jobs
2) when you call the company, the receptionist answers with a different company name
3) the company represents Fourtune500 companies, etc. But is located in some tiny back-office in the cuts
4) the initial phone call to "screen you" only asks a couple of broad qualifying questions about yourself, i.E. "Are you looking for full-time work?"
5) the "Initial Interview" sound more like a sales pitch than an interview— telling you all about the "great opportunity"
6) they ask you for a second interview and tell you that it will be a "8-9hour" interview to "see your sales skills, " but since it's an "interview" it will be unpaid
7) they ask you to sign anything that gives up any of your rights as a worker—i.E. To collect pay for a day's work...
I hope none of you fall for this, as I'm certain that, if you get the job, there would only be more screwing to come—and not the kind you'll like.
*Copy of follow-up/resoponse e-mail from me to Terra Wholesale (after being asked to return for an unpaid 9-hour interview):
""That was a total scam— I can't believe you b*s are actually getting people to fall for that "9-hour 2nd Interview" bull*.
I've been working as Management long enough to know that any interview, first, second, whatever, should take no longer than an hour—TOPS.in fact, I new your little bitch was full of shit within seconds of her opening her mouth.
On top of that, you're not even going to *pay* these guys. The scam is obvious— get a team of people together and cart them off somewhere to watch them "interview, " —i.E. Compete— for a sales position at no cost to you, peddling your bullshit for 9 hours. Do you let them take breaks, or do you also make them piss and s* and starve themselves, too? It wouldn't suprise me.
I hope you sleep well at night,
Tell all of your Piece-of-S* "Managers" that they can be found on usacomplaints.com, as I will be posting this scam there, where it will be viewable during searches with your company names (plural) whenever anyone tries to look you pricks up.
Go f* yourselves!!!
