Job offering

Yesterday I got a phone call and a woman said a company was hiring and if I was interested in having an interview. When I asked what positions they were offering she told me there were different positions and I could be informed at the interview. So I thought to go. In short it is a no-name firm (A.M. is the name) that is looking for salesmen to place a "new product" from another firm named Kirby (which should be a company selling vacuum cleaners but I can't find much information on the Web). I couldn't see the product but I was told it is a small device that among other 100 things it can scratch paint from walls and make massages (no kidding). If I was interested I should have attended a course including several sessions and then being payed 1000 euros a month plus bonuses depending on the results. But I am not interested.

Always good to follow your instincts and not just take the first offer that comes along. Nice to have offers though smile Hope you find the perfect job for you soon!

You can always find offers for sales. The trick is they give you something to sell and basically they pay you a percentage on the sold. The investment and risk is zero on their side.

eek! I wouldn't like that! It's better to have a guaranteed pay I think!

Yup, Kirby is a world famous vacuum cleaner that costs the price of a small car and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It's supposed to be indestructible. It also claims tin clean better than any other product on the market. (the usuall demonstration involves sucking up dirt from a 'clean' carpet) it's damned nigh impossible to convince people to part with the hefty fee for the thing though. scared. At least it wasn't D.S.Max (aka; WWI) irked

wise move. If you have to attend their courses first AND they aren't being up front with information... sounds sketch to me.
