Nå.. Efter at have uploadet mit CV på flere hjemmesider, er jeg blevet kontaktet af Farmers Insrance. De ville gerne have mig til at sælge forsikringer. Det lyder jo meget tilforladeligt, men så fandt Claus et 'review' af dem af tidligere medarbjdere. Kan læses her. Rører dem ikke med en ildtang.
To af de jobs, jeg har søgt (jeg begyndte at søge i mandags, men kun ved at smide mit CV ud forskellige steder - har ikke mit cover letter (ansøgningen) fra det firma der skriver for mig endnu...Har søgt måske 10 jobs.. Har fået eet afslag, har to jobsamtaler på mandag, og har ikke hørt fra resten. De to jobsamtaler jeg har på mandag, er med firmaer der havde nogle relativt vage beskrivelser, med hvad man kunne komme til at arbejde med.
We are looking for recent graduates, and MOTIVATED professionals willing to grow with our company to fill some of our Entry-Level positions in:
· Promotional Sales
· Public Relations
· Event Marketing
· Campaign Management
· Office Administration
· Internships Available*
Sounds great, but you don’t have any previous marketing experience? No Problem! Due to the rapid expansion of our client portfolio, we have a few immediate openings and will provide complete training for the right candidate.
Det lyder jo meget godt, ikke? Jeg har erfaring med flere af emnerne - jeg er ikke specielt hooked på marketing, vil hellere arbejde med regnskab/økonomi/operations/controlling eller tilsvarende, men et job er et job.
Bare ikke i USA. Når I læser ovenstående, tænker I så dørsælger? Jeg gør ikke. Men så søgte jeg efter firmaet på Yelp, og der bliver de svinet til.. Det er ren dørsælgeri...
'xxxx Marketing is posting a lot of jobs in careerbuilder/ monster-type sites and is anything BUT a marketing company. I am looking for a marketing job and sadly stumbled upon this job posting. I went on the second interview and it was following a "trainer' to strip malls in el cajon going in EACH business... strip mall by strip mall... selling a promotional make-up kit. If this is the DIRECT SALES job that you are looking for than great, this is it. However, if you are looking for MARKETING, this is not it. The goal of this company is to move up to trainer in 6-9 months however why would you want to be a trainer and train people to do something that is completely misleading and not marketing? The ad for the job was very misleading and the first interview was as well. My advice is to ask sooo many details questions in first round interviews such as : will I be walking door to door? Is this direct sales or marketing? Good luck job hunters... Im right there w/ ya and dont want anyone to be mislead and waste time!'
'The only reason they encourage you to grow, and train your own team is so they can get more people selling the same worthless product and thus they are making more off of you and your team selling make-up, classic pyramid structure. If you don't sell, you go home with nothing and they want you stopping between 100-200 people daily trying to sell make-up.'
Det var et par udpluk fra Yelp. Skræmmende, ikke? At de kan snyde folk på den måde. For dør-til-dør sælger i USA, kun på kommision.. Det gør jeg ikke. Jeg er alt andet end kræsen med jobs og har arbejdet med kundeservice, administration, interviews (ikke Gallup - de betaler ikke for træning, og det synes jeg er så usselt) og dengang jeg startede med at læse, arbejdede jeg i hjemmeplejen (og tog i mange år stadig vagter dér i weekenden).

'This company has so many horrible things going on. This company, a division of Smart Circle International and Innovage, promises you that if you work for 72 hours a week, then in 6 months you can be handed your own office to manage with a salary of $150,000. The management, Ian Laird and Sandy El-Reyes, are corrupt. They show favoritism toward individuals that are unethical and unprofessional. And worst of all, when these individuals are involved in sexual harassment claims, drugs, etc., they just look the other way and fire the employees that bring up the charges. Horrible place to work at!
