Do I *LOOK* Like a Vacuum Cleaner Salesperson?
I didn't think so.
So I wasted a morning (including nearly an hour of driving time) to do this stupid mass interview, and you want to know what their product is?
Fucking vacuum cleaners.
Suuuuuuure, they don't TELL you they're fucking vacuum cleaners, but that's pretty much exactly what the thing is. And of course they're "Only hiring entry level demonstrators" and "we do all the scheduling for you" and yackity schmackity, but what the whole thing boiled down to is "You're selling fucking vacuums".
No. Thank you.
So I informed the people on my references list that they can tell this company ANYTHING they want. They can lie. They can say I just got out of jail, that they were my pimp, that they're suprised I'm out of the psych ward/rehab unit so soon, and that they're glad I'm no longer a danger to myself and/or others. Because I? SOOOOO Do not want this job.
I think it's a scam, and I'm not getting mixed up in it.
So lets hope for something ELSE to come rollin' along, as a result of my resume drop...
Keep your fingers crossed, eh?

That's EXACTLY what this sounded like- and I am NOT a salesperson. At all. And I sure as hell am not going to hawk some overpriced vacuum cleaner on steroids. Besides- they want you to do 15 demos/week minimum. There aren't enough places in this county to do that, there just aren't.
Hee! Legal, schmegal. Work's work, unless it's a scam job...
PLEEEEEEEEEEASE (!!!) use me as a reference! Pleasepleasepleaseplease!!! I would have waaaaaay too much fun with that. In fact, I highly suggest telling them that you've never met me "but she seems like a real nice person online".
*HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA*
Shit, I never thought about the whole "June Cleaver" aspect- that would have been really fucking funny. And the more I read about htis place (try searching for "Filter Queen" on epinions.com) the more I just say- Wooooow, I am so glad that I am not in on this!
It's totally home demos, and a "You've won something, but you have to sit through our demo" thing. By all accounts, the vacuum is awesome (it really sucks like a mofo!) but it costs like... two GRAND. Uhm... No.
Hee! GA- I could maybe get some from my neighbors- more on THAT little episode tonight when my Paa gets home- because shit? SOOOOOOOOO went down there today. (Not for drugs, but the cops? Were there.)
MWN- SO. DOING. THIS. The next skeezy place I go to, I'm putting you down as a reference. Heh. (Right after I polish my skull shaped soup bowls.)
Hee! it's aqua, and looks like a big-assed shop vac!
My friend did Vectorcorp demos, and actually made a good bit of money. But because he worked for a place with a name like Vectorcorp we joked around that he was working for a comic-book Evil Empire.
You can totally list me, too, for the record.
