Bare with me, this is gonna be long... I was applying for jobs lastnight on the BristolJobs website and got a call back from one of the employers this morning. I'd missed it, so I called them back. It was Mantra Marketing. The lady on the phone asked me if I'd applied for a job in Customer Services, which I had. So she said, eventhough it was probably her colleague who called me, and she didn't actually have my CV in front of her, she could take over anyway. So she asked me abit about my work background, and said that I was probably called to attend an interview. She asked if I could come in today, but I've got plans and it very short notice, so I declined. She then asked me about coming in Monday, which was fine. It would give me time to do some research on the company, get my clothes ready, and just generally prepare myself. And as she kept dodging the subject of what's actually involved, what the company provides, and what the pay rates are, etc, I was feeling very hesitant by the end of the call. Upon doing research, I've found out that it's basically *not* the office job I applied for. It's all about commission via door-to-door sales, and/or standing around Bristol in fundraising vests bugging people their for money and card details (it all depends what company they have you supporting at the time). =/ Apparently, everyone gets an interview with them, everyone gets hired, and everyone quits within a week or two when they're finally given the truth about their job. And when you read their "Business Development Programme" on their own site, it's very obviously just another pyramid scheme. =/
