First, I got a call from a woman named Candice from LFH, also known as LFH Concepts, Inc. The told me my resume was chosen off of careerbuilder.com and her hiring managers wants to interview me. I was skeptical because I get calls from tons of insurance sales companies and that is not my specialty. She reassured me it was not insurance sales, but that it was a customer service and marketing position. That seemed more up my alley. I asked a few questions and she wouldn't give me a straight answer. What kind of HR employee doesn't know about the compensation or benefits. Isn't that their department?
At this point, I know I'm not going to accept any offer with them because it's already unprofessional and I feel lied to. So I go in for the interview the following day and just as I expected there were 3 other people in the lobby... Really... F*ing really!?!? I realized it was just a cattle call and she literally called everyone because the people in the lobby ranged from what looked like high school drop outs to middle aged men.
I'm amused at this point. She hands me a clip board of the 6 she had out, all with the same "paperwork" on it. I filled it out, regretfully, and gave it back to her.
So after all the "qualified candidates" before me go back with the manager, who by the way looks like he rolled out of bed to make the interview. The lobby ends up filling up with 2 other people in the 50 minutes I was in the lobby. I was informed it was 30 minutes total and ended up missed a prior engagement.
I get the pleasure of getting a hand shack from the southern, slow, bed head manager, who couldn't carry on a conversation if it saved his life. He asked me a few questions and felt as if they were necessary and immediately asked me to come back for a 2nd interview. Exactly, because they hire everything! Which is why they don't require experience, nothing but a high school education, and a car.
Pretty much, this job is a door to door, Monday through Saturday job, selling ATT Uverse to people who have no idea you are coming and you get paid 100% commission. I respect people who do these jobs, but I don't respect people who lie to get you in the office because they don't want to tell you it's commission only, or that a majority of the day is driving around or walking to go house to house.
LFH, please do me a favor, and be honest to your candidates. There is nothing worse than coming into an interview, have your receptionist play a front and act like a stupid blonde. Then have the manager come in, looking like shit because you don't know what profressional means. Get a clue!
