craigslist job posting
 
too good to be true?

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...341317580.html

no company name, high salary for entry level with no sales experience, and specified that you need your own car.

door to door sales?

if its too good to be true, it probably is.

also, since its a sales job, they will hire almost anybody. you have to foot your own car expenses, and only get paid if you make a sell.

win win situation for companies like these

It's probably a way to gain resumes.

It is most likely a multi level marketing scheme, either amway, ACN, or vector

if the company is "big" yet can't even state their name, or does not provide a legit email address that isn't @shaw.ca or @hotmail.com, IMO it's a sham and not worth it.

very very common bullshit posting. they always have the following:
-"international company expanding" -> their hq is in the u.s
-"looking for lots of people" -> this is a give away that its door to door
-"training provided" -> they will do weeks of extensive ttaining, not rrally to teach u anything, but rather to brainwash and persuade u into loving them
-could make huge salary -> key word is could. there will be one guy who supposidly makes shitloads but thr rest barely break minimum wage. on top of that, out of thr shit u sell what % do u get to keep? amd what % of that do u have to give back to the government at the end of the year as comission income? ;-)

I worked as a door to door for 2 days way back and it's really shitty work. We only had 3 different products to sell at one time and you have to meet at their warehouse "office" at 6:30 in the morning for their mozone. On top of that, I can't remember what it was but I sold about 140 dollars worth of stuff along side their senior sales and I only got about 35 dollars and I still had to cover the gas and food. So it's like 20 dollars for 12 hrs of work

selanne, why would you still work for these assholes? dont you get hourly wage on top of commission?

Selanne_200 04-23-2011 11:27 AM

I don't and that was the reason why I only worked for them for 2 days. No there's no hourly wage, ur strictly on commission or rather they call it "self-employed" so ur not even their employees. They only act as a consigner of their goods to u. It was my first "job" and I didn't kno better. Otherwise I would've walked out after the first 10 minutes
