Amanda Wilkinson Job application fraud

I am a recently laid off worker, seeking a new job in the Philadelphia area. A received d an e-mail from CXN about interviewing a job I applied for, though I could not recall actually applying for them. I ignored the e-mail, but received a follow-up call a couple of days later from Amanda Wilkinson, the company's Director of Corporate Communicationwho had also sent the initial e-mail.

The e-mail read as follows:

You recently applied for our open position. After reviewing your resume we feel like you would be a great potential match for this position. We are hoping to find a candidate who can uphold the responsibilities of this position with the utmost professionalism.

I know that in today's job market finding a match for your career path can be very difficult. After reviewing your application I feel like you have a lot of potential to become an employee and join our team here at CXN, Inc.

I would love to schedule you for an interview as soon as possible.

I spoke with Ms. Wilkinson, and was somewhat concerned when she said she was bringing me in for an "educational interview, " and was unable to specify the details of the job I had applied for. I agreed to the interview, and slept on it.

The next morning, I spent an hour or so searching through my e-mails, and job application history, but could find no contact with CXN that I had initiated. Checking online, what little information I could find was not encouraging. Their website lacked any substantial information about what the company does, but it did appear from their job postings online that it was a sales position. The postings were for "Sales Minded Professional" and "Entry Level Junior Executive"very far from the sort if thing I have been applying for. I asked a few people for advice, and they told me to run like hell.

Later that morning, I received a follow-up call to confirm the interview from another employee, and as soon as I expressed my concerns, she said (albeit politely) that they would call off the interview.

What bothered me most was the deceptiveness of claiming I had applied for a position that I had not applied for. Had they simply been direct and honest about how they came by my information, I would be less concernedthough would likely not have interviewed with the information I could find. Seeing the posts on usacomplaints.com about their activities in Kentucky only make me happier I avoided this place. If they're this scummy when trying to find people, I shudder to imagine what they are like to work for.
