I found this posting on Craigslist for promotion reps for a marketing company that specializes in the spa industry. During my job search on Craigslist I have come to find many shady businesses so I am fully aware of their tactics and scams. I spoke to Sabrina at MJ Promotions and she vaguely told me about the position. I specifically asked if this particular job was a "working on the field going door to door" job. She immediately said "No this is a Mon-Fri 8to 5 job and would eventually be a management position." So I figured I would go in for an interview. The ad stated that the salary was between $600-800 a week. When I got there, this place was a hole in the wall office location. The actual office looked so shady as there was a chair and table. There were no signs of the company, no certificates posted, no nothing! The "owner" named Ilya, interviewed me... His office was even more shady! He didnt even have a business card! I told him my qualifications, what I was looking for, how I wanted to get into management ect. He told me that "This is not an office type job or one that could get you into management, this job you would be working out on the field..." I said " That is not what Sabrina your receptionist told me.." of course Sabrina was no where around. When I asked him what the position entailed as far as working on the field, he couldnt even give me an answer! I said " This place is definitely not legit" and he looked so guilty. I walked out of there along with a few other people being interviewed!
Beware these people are scam artist! They want you to work your butt off for them for nothing! They arent even a legit business and bastards like this make it so hard for all of us americans dealing with this recession trying to find employment after being laid off.
Idiots!
