weird phone interview

darkangelism · 01-27-2006, 03:45 PM

I have been trying to get a job now that im done with school, and i applied for this one job and when i called all of these almar bells in my head started going off, when they answered they named two different companies, then they were pushy about me setting up an interview and wouldnt really answer my question of what my role is in the job, i have a feeling its like my last job where i am direct selling on pure comission, something that i can hardly afford to do. So im debating if i should cancel the interview on monday, so that i dont waste my time.

that does soud like a red flag to me too. the final decision is up to you DA but if it were me, i'd ditch that interview and move on.

Cancel!! any reputable company would directly awnser your questions

So what did you end up doing DA?

Your instinct is probably right,it sounds like a conmmission gig-did you ask that question flat out?

Commission based jobs suck unless you are a really good salesman.

i am gonna cancel monday morning. i worked comission last summer and it sucks, if i had some base it wouldnt be bad as long as i can pay my bills, but with my friend from HS moving out here i need to be sure i can pay my half of rent.

How long before you have your degree DA?

Well then you should just keep looking. There is some company out there who will be very lucky to get you as an employee.

Maybe you should've just told them the truth. They were less than forthcoming with information....so you think they suck. HAHA!
