By now I consider myself experienced in searching for jobs. I have spent countless hours and know basically what I am looking for.
Whilst job searching there is something which infuriates me beyond anything else and that is door to door sales jobs pretending to be anything else.
Taglines such as :
Kick-start your career in marketing today
Make 2010 your year
No training necessary
Change to a new successful career
Its utter bullshit. What these jobs actually entail is hard door to door sales. Nothing else, no office work and in most cases no actually salary just OTE. A lot of them even require you to be self employed. How the hell do they get away with this. No element of marketing actually features. The fact these jobs exist annoys me. The fact they are allowed to spread their lies on major job boards and job sites is beyond repproach.
THEY LIE. OUTRIGHT.
Why, why are they not cracked down on. There is such a thing as false advertising, surely they must be culpable. But I have even come across them on official government sites. They are everywhere. Now I know where to look I am not fooled, but I bet other poor graduates are.
What is particularly frustrating is although I am well aware of their con I cannot filter them from job searches because of their various lies. They are also everywhere which means searching through pages of the same crap.
