Interview update

Well, it looks like this was more of a scam than anything.  The "interview" today was not even necessarily an interview.  They called it a personality interview.

Basically this was a hiring/training company who works for/with an international fragrance company.  We were never given the name of the actual company.  They wouldn't discuss benefits. You are not given a paycheck while you go thru their mandatory training period (60-90 days).  They want the candidates to call them back instead of them calling us.

There were a few too many red flags that went up.  I guess I'm chalking this one up to a learning experience.

    Craigslist--should have known.

    Also, the BBB, Attorney General and Dept of Labor have no record of this company on file.

  • Ugh, I'm so sorry that didn't work out... but maybe that's a good thing!  How horrible that they're scamming people in an economy like this!

  • I'm so sorry you are disappointed!  Good luck with your search!
  • Sorry to hear that things didn't turn out the way you thought....but I think everyone goes through this at least once.

    I remember around 2002 or 2003 when I was job hunting I was asked to come in for a hiring event for an unknown company. So being young & naive, I went even though I didn't know much about it, and my car was not in the best condition....it turned out to be a pyramid scam. But what was kinda funny about it was that it was for an internet company that was like a wannabe Google, and they expected you to invest in the company and recruit other people.

    Keep your head up and don't give up! Something will come along eventually.
