Scam jobs again
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve warned people about scam jobs here and here before, but here’s another variation from Maman Poulet where the job exists, but the training and pay are so poor that invariably people lose out.
They may stop advertising such jobs in their current ad format, because a bright spark complained to the advertising standards commision and a complaint was upheld againgst D7 marketing. See here for details
I wrote here about assessing whether an employer is right for you , but based on comments on Maman Poulet and Beaut I think I need to add a few further items –
• where the recruitment procedure is vague or non existent, you’re probably looking at a job that is going to cost you money
• If your experience as a marketer is limited and you’re being offered a dream job in marketing, ask if it’s door to door sales.
I’m not saying that door to door sales is not a valid career choice, but make sure your employer provides decent sales training and a basic wage while training. You’ll also need to be very tough skinned, confident and resilient
The other area that seems to be taking off again is MLM or multi level marketing; I’ll come back to this as a lot of time & effort can be wasted in this area as well.
