I was contacted after applying. I was rushed on the phone screen and immediately invited in for an interview on one of three dates available. Three days later I got another call from another position that I applied for listed under a different company name. They invited me to an interview on the same date and time. I told them that I had an interview with the first company and they apologized for "double calling" me. I looked up both companies and made the connection that they were all linked to American Income Life.
I arrived at my interview. It was at a seemingly vacant multiple story office building in Mansfield, MA. There was someone in the lobby directing people to the interview. In the office, there was a a woman behind a desk handing out personality surveys.
There were several people sitting in the office and it felt like a doctor's office. I was pulled aside by one person who worked there, complimented on my suit and told that I would soon be going into another room and needed to make a good impression with the Regional Manager. He said that they were inviting 100 job seekers in today and it was going to be a mad house. However, they were only taking 3 people.
I then entered the next room and continued to pretend like this was normal, because I was still a little curious.
I then sat through a 2 hour lecture on selling insurance. I was told if I work 7 days a week I could make a six digit salary within 2 years without any experience. I could tell that several of the sales tactics used by associates were being practiced on me and the other 1-15 applicants in the room.
I felt lied too and trapped in the room. I checked out almost immediately after the speaker started selling me on the scheme. I was 100% checked out when he told me he was not a good student and that the company is not looking at peoples resumes. They are only looking at people to invest in the company, work hard and then those people will become millionaires in 10 years.
This hiring scheme is not honest.
