Very odd. Got a call on the same day I applied online from a girl who said i'd been shortlisted by management! Had an interview scheduled for 11 the following morning and showed up at around half-ten and was whisked straight in! The interview lasted all of 5 minutes with a very animated guy! My questions about what the company actually did were heavily (and in hindsight deliberately) deflected! I said their website didn't give much away and he said "yeah it's mainly for our clients" - I have a marketing degree so thought it odd; if I couldn't grasp what they did, how could clients in need of marketing help?! I came in the following day to experience 'A Day in the Life'. The guy taking care of me seemed cool, however two staff who had recently got the job were rude and disinterested; I later found out that the company tell people to focus on themselves and deflect conversation and communication with people on interview! Again, very odd.
One of the rude girls drove us to a little town somewhere rural about an hour outside of Manchester. For the the whole journey one of the girls spoke of how she was going to open an office abroad; I asked her if she spoke the language (kind of a prerequisite in a face to face sales job) to which she said no. Got a long book to fill out with strange but easy to answer questions! Up to this point all was fine; then I had the pay structure explained. Being inquisitive I also asked, assumingly, if expenses were covered. When I found out the basic wage & that expenses (£40 per day for over 10 hours work) were not paid I think I was visibly shocked, though I think the guy really wanted me to buy into the company and told me about how much he was now making and the lifestyle he lead. I genuinely believe they take you so far away so that you feel a pressure to stay and conclude the interview, otherwise I would have left
