All these emplyers are lying

Is it just me that is experiencing this? You apply for a job as a customer service rep and. Theyre all sales jobs. 100% commission. That would be fine if they would state that in the.job summary. So you go to the interview, its not the job you applied for, the position, or.the same.pay scale. And are all google.hangouts interviews scams? I get 2 or 3 of these a week. All these employers are lying about positions, the pay scale, and dont give you all the information in the job summary. I feel misled, lied to, and confused . But mostly outraged. I schedule my.interview on my days off, get dressed up, arrive early only to find out i wasted my time. The job isnt even working in an office, its an outside sales job. Can anyone else.relate to my.frustration?

Fake jobs

It's a shame that jobseekers like myself get bombarded with emails and notifications on a daily basis about companies hiring now, and "you fit the profile of what they are looking for" blah blah blah!!! Most posts are for senior management engineer(ish) positions that's responsible for everything under the sun, and they expect you to have all this experience in the door. Well, why would someone in a senior position be looking for a job anyway? Wouldn't the person or persons who are charged with running a department be looking for a support group rather than a company looking for someone to run the department? I can't fathom getting all these job posts and filling out responses only to be joined onto yet another algorithmic keyword-based database that gets paid to send out daily blogs of "JOBS IN YOUR AREA". We need real concrete opportunity to be waiting on me. If these jobs are truly hiring the talent that's out there,........ Where're the callbacks and responses?

WACH OUT!!! SCAMS!!!! FAKE EMPLOYERS!!!!

There is some out and about parting jobs, calling himself Bernard Huslman. This guy said he's head of H.R.M. a fabric wearhouse. He offered me a job as a wearhouse inspector. He said that he'd mail out a check to pay me $450.00 a week. Then he told me that the check was on it's way and was to be $2,800.00. I started to suspect something right then. He said that the extra money would be to cover shiping and other wearhouse cost. Long story short it's a scam, they want you to deposit the money into your account and withdraw it out, before the check clears. Once that happens they cancel the check and now your account is negative that amount, and they walk away $2,000 richer. The bank by law has to make fund available 24 hours after deposit, before even they know if the check is good, kind of dumb if you ask me. But be on the look out for these people. His phone number that I got was (515)412-9750. His Email is bhuelsman01@gmail.com another phone number that I got from him is (208)277-0695. My hope is that you all will pay attention to people that contact you about a job that you never applied for, it just don't work that way, and if it sounds to good to be true than it's a scam. Good news is that he got nothing from me, and hope the same for all of you, You all have a grate day and God bless you all.

WORK FROM HOME SCAM!!!

I applied for a job for a company called VF Corporations. I get text updates to check my application statuses, and I got an updated saying that a recruiter viewed my application. A couple hours later I got an email from someone named Laura Bhadrakuma. She addressed herself as the hiring manager from VF Corporation and proceeded to tell me about the corporation. She then told me that the job I applied for was already given to another candidate, but shs had a work from home job opportunity that she wanted to give to me. $580 a week, plus benefits. She also stated that she wanted to give me a formal interview, but she was out of town on business so it would have to wait, but in the meantime there were things she could give me to do to start working and if I wanted the job to reply back to the email proving my address and name. Then I did my homework. I looked up Laura Bhadrakuma and didn't find anything. Then I went to the VF Corporation site and she wasn't in the employee directory. Then I dissected her email fully and realized there were many grammatical mistakes. By this point, I knew it was a scam. But I'm trying to get more information as I can to report this further, so I'm letting them continue. I replied back to the email saying I want the job. Then I got another email saying that my first "task" was to buy items on a list for a "foster home" that they work with and that a check would be mailed to me for the cost of the items and for my weekly pay. The email advised me to deposit the check as soon as I get it and to email them back with a picture of the desposit receipt from my bank. I am not going to deposit this check because it's obviously going to bounce. I'm keeping it to use it as proof of a scam. Please watch out for scams like these!!!!

I have almost been scammed. I was offered a job for an "up and coming company" that needed a personal assistant. I was promised $400 a week and as my first task, I had to send a check to an orphanage from the company. However, I have yet to receive anything in the way of tax paperwork, or even company name. BEWARE OF SMITH NELSON. I am not seeing anything legitimate from this person. It never ceases to amaze me of the lengths that people will go to scam someone.

FALSE HOPE

Dear Jobcase, I recently observed and somewhat partook in your Jan. 30 day challenges and on the last day I thought I landed a dream trucking job with FedEx freight.I filled out my application on indeed.com and submitted it and I soon was being emailed and was called for prescreen interview.After that, I was given a date for a face to face interview and a number to the man I was to call. So I called him to just basically get a gist of the pay rate for their drivers and was told that this position was an on call position ,or if someone took vacation I could fill in, and that he couldn't promise that I would work everyday. So unfortunately, I had to cancel my interview date for those reasons. I just can't afford to quit my job now that lately hasn't been so bad, to switch to a job that wasn't full-time.It was exciting to be considered by FedEx , it just wasn't what I was expecting. Hence, false hope! So I just thought I'd share the irony of your 30 day challenge and on the last day I had gotten an interview with FedEx. The right trucking job with fall in my lap eventually. Until then I'll remain optimistic and never complain about the thorns among the roses but rather be greatful for the roses among the thorns! Thank y'all for your words of encouragement and support and the finding of jobs I may be interested in. Sincerely!

Free grant money for school????

I had a foreign man call my phone today telling me I would recieve grant money just for showing interest in going to school. He put me on the phone with a third party to confirm but the whole ordeal struck me as crazy odd.
