I answered an ad on careerbuilder.com or monster.com in new jersey for North Jersey for this interview/training. After initial contact I was told to come back wednesday to begin training at 915 to abt 400pm est. I sat through the training and was very impressed, then Bob Stevens took me and each of the 5 other candidates seperately and asked us how we felt abt the training and if we were ready to go forward with more training and employment to begin on the monday after training. I said yes. Then the SCAM came. They said they, the dealer, Universe Toyota would have to pay $599 for the sales training per person and that they would be paying $250 of it, so my cost to become certified, licensed and continue for the remainder of the three days and continue training at the dealer location in Little Falls would be ongoing and I would begin working on Monday. I was also offered a position as a trainer at $120,000.00 per year and was told I would be going to different states a week at a time to train and sell cars in individual dealerships, followed by a two week haitus in my own state for downtime. I am so glad I made a phone call and my radar went off and I came home to do a google search on Universe Toyota job scam. AND who's name comes up... Bob Stevens, Automax and his cell phone with the same area code and number in South Jersey... DO NOT GET SCAMMED!!! I was looking in this bad economy for something that obviously was not hiring me on my own merits, but in fact a scam... And I almost gave them the $349.00 mfor the certification and promise of employment... Wow!!!
