This is the add quot;START NOW Hamilton based company has openings in all departments: v Sales v Service v Office v Warehouse $2,750 monthly/$18.42hr to start All training provided for selected applicants. Call for Interview Mon. Tue. Only 905-560-4888 quot;I went for an interview today and got the job. The company is called world wide industries and says they are rated quot;number onein Canada. After searching on google for the company I cant find any information about them. They didnt tell me what I would be selling but when you call the number it says vacuum cleaners. They said they set all of the appointments up for me and the equipment I just go and sell the product. My first day is wednesday and I have to wear a dress shirt and tie etc. I was wondering if anyone has heard about this? Is this a scam? Is this a waste of my time?
I have not heard of this company. Unless you are very good in selling vacuum cleaners, I think its a waste of your time. Most of the appointments are actually cold contacts and you have to do a hard sell Have a nice day !
It's a Nigerian money laundering scam that can land you in prison NEVER give your home address to anyone you have not interviewed with in person. Not to mention that it's illegal for any employer to ask your age, sex or marital status. They could be fined for even asking this if they were for real You really think that someone would offer a caregiver job to someone they have never even met? This is one of the most common scams out there
Sounds okorder . At any rate, best of luck!
My ex-husband got ripped off by someone selling a vacuum cleaner door to door.... $1600 later I was stuck with a vacuum cleaner that sucked (or rather...didn't suck!).... that is also one of the reasons why he is an ex.... he got custody of the sucky non-sucking vacuum cleaner!!!! Get out very quickly... don't let yourself get caught up in this. You don't have a clue who is on the other side of the door and quite honestly, the customer whose door you knock on doesn't have a clue who you are. Door to Door sales is a thing of the past.... don't fall for this scam... If you feel obliged to follow through, however, I know where there is one sucky non-sucking vacuum cleaner that I am sure the owner would be willing to part with after all these years!!!!
The same thing actually just happened to me too today, almost down the the EXACT detail you said. The only difference was that it was in Barrie that I went, and the company name wasn't World-Wide. But the part about the vacuums, the hourly rate, the quick hire after the interview...EVERYTHING else was the same for me. Based on the rest of these answers, I'm bailing out. I'm not even gonna work the first day. It can't be a co-incidence that 2 different companies in 2 different cities are doing the EXACT same thing. I'd bail out too, before something bad happens. This can't be a real legit job. It's definetly really sketchy. Bail out. Don't work this job.
