Well, not one, but two such deals came down the pike this week. Ok the second one wasn't a pyramid scheme, but I'm pretty sure it involves door to door handing-out of fliers. You know, those annoying offers from people who go knocking doors around the neighborhood? Well, the girl who gave me information about the company and the interview mentioned that they had a parent company (red flag no. 1), and when i checked them out, i found out that they are the self-proclaimed "dominant force in referral marketing." Strike two for the use of "referral marketing". I don't know about the company I was going to interview with, but other ones under the same parent company basically get you in for a marketing job and you end up passing out fliers and selling stuff door to door. Hmmm... I'll pass, thanks!
Anyway, I got an e-mail from an automotive company wanting to know when I could set up a time to interview, but they never responded to my response, and it's been more than a week. So I don't know what's going on there. Basically, it has been one of those weeks where you find yourself getting your hopes up about a lot of opportunities only to be disappointed. So hopefully things will turn around.
Hey, the good news is it will only cost me $1600 to replace my fence! Woohoo! And the engineer will be here tomorrow to assess any possible foundation repair issues I may have with my house - woohoo again!!!
Oh well, life goes on. ;) Hopefully something else will present itself.
