This 'company' is a huge scam. They place dummy ads on Careerbuilder, Monster, and Hotjobs. When you try to apply to the job, you are told to call them as they are a recruiting firm. After a discussion with a 'sales rep, ' they tell you that they will create a profile for you and send out your resume to employers. You pay $36.00 and they send you a package in the mail that you are to sign and send back so they can create your profile. This money gives you a 30 day window to use the service. Firstly, they tell you that it will take 5-7 business days for this package to arrive. In the interim you are told to go online and create a job profile, upload your resume, and then look at the positions listed and you can apply to them. They are clear in telling you that the jobs online are far from the total that they reach out to with your resume. I went online and they had 3 open jobs for the area. They were all at least 3 weeks to month old. A week goes by and no package in the mail. I called and was told it is coming from Santa Barbara and will take a while. I wait another week and nothing. I call again, they say that it was mailed and verify my address once again. I threaten to call American Express and let them know that this is a scam. They then put a 'manager' on the phone. Within three minutes, the documents are in my email. They tell me to fax them back and it should take about 3 days to get me really started with job applications. They also gave me back the 2 weeks free as I complained that waiting on them was wasting my month. So i then fax the docs back. A week goes by and nothing. i then received 2 job specs and sent my resume. No responses at all from the 'employer' or 'NSG.' Be careful of this scam especially in a market when the unemployment rate is at 8.1%. They are a terrible entity and i am sure that others have be taken advantage of.

I called the National Sales Group once I answered an ad for Pharmacuetical Sales Representatives in CareerBuilder.com. To my dismay they wanted $35.90 to get me enrolled. Against my better judgment I authorized that amount on my card. I became concerned when the fax number did not work for me to fax back documents to them. However, later the fax number did work . I still was not sold so I looked on the Ripoff report and read all of the complaints against the company. Prior to that no one has contacted me for a job. Also once I went back onto the website I noticed that it did not matter what city you entered into the job search they all had the same jobs.The same jobs have been there for a while. They do not change. I did not purchase the Sales booklet. Instead I canceled immediately. I was told I would get a confirmation via email. I am still waiting on it. I will let you kow how that pans out and pray my credit card is not billed additionally due to my 30 days deadline is 01/08/09. This site was not helpful. They were paid $35.90 for nothing...absolutely nothing!
