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!

At least you are not hesitating...that's good! p:

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. :insane:. 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.
