I applied for an entry level position in marketing through what i thought was a reliable website Reed. I sent my cv late at night and the next day at 10am an admin called Courtney Sagar was calling me already. How lucky I was after the number of applications that job had.. a bit suspicious.

Told me there were a few aspects in my application they wanted to discuss with me in further detail.. What details if I have no experience at all, that's why I was applying for an entry level position.. Tried to ask her but she quickly told me they had many candidates and if I was interested in an interview.

The rest of the process went as all the internet forums say. They tell you in 3min how amazing they are and how much money they earn, they ask you 3 questions if you are lucky like what you're looking for, where do you see yourself in the future.. and kick you out of the room before you have time to ask any questions about them. Got called for the 2nd interview and I was paired with a guy to go knocking on doors under the rain..

I asked him why they lie on the ads as they don´t say it's jsut commission. Saying is based on performance doesn´t specify you're gonna be self-employed getting nothing if you make no sales after spending 70h of your time a week doing door to door or practising to go out, including Saturdays.

They don´t tell you either that if you dont register as self-employed you risk a fine from hm revenue and customs, as they dont really care who is and who's not as long as you make sales on the street for them.

All these guys seem to be brainwashed to me. How can they work there when they all look exhausted and they could be getting more money somewhere else working 40h/week. Only about 1% of people that start will make it to management..and even if you get there, you will still work the same hours to cover most of the time, just the expenses of having an admin and paying the bills of the office.

The same for the admin team. They might be brainless or just stay there because they sleep with their managers as the forums also say, in particular about this admin Courtney I talked to. They are lying on the phone to graduates who are desperate looking for a job. They encourage them to go waste their time, putting their families and friends aside just to make these owners think they are becoming rich. It´s just disgusting how nasty people can be.

All these companies in the uk doing the same sales are a SCAM, warning there are few in this address in London Bridge: EA Wordlwide Acquisitions, Live, Galaxy Marketing, Carolina Consulting, London Marketing Services and JTG Consulting. Door to door, B2B and events (shopping centres)

STAY AWAY
