I just got home from my second year of college, and it's time for me to get a job. I really don't have any connections to cash in on this year (last year a friend of the family got me a job), so I turned to the classifieds.
I found an interesting ad:
The ad is very vague, but since putting more information into an advertisement costs money, so it doesn't mean it's a scam. I then did a google search on the phone number listed, and found this:
Exact same number in both ads. Wtf is the company about? I called them up and inquired, and both of the contacts were in a meeting, but the receptionist told me I could set up an interview time. I asked her what, specifically, they were hiring for. She said she was just the receptionist, but it'd likely have to do with planning interesting entertainment packages (i.e. people buy a package that consists of dinner at a restaurant and then tickets to a play or sporting event)
I set up an interview for Wednesday afternoon, but some of my friends seem to think that this could be a scam or paid-based-on-sales job of some sort, just because they've seen scams and crummy jobs with similar advertisements. Sales pitches, telemarketing, door-to-door, etc.
I'm sure I'll find out exactly what the deal is tomorrow when I go in for the interview, but I'm a bit nervous that searching for Pinnacle Advertising (the company name) on Google brings up no results. Well, there are companies by that name, but not in Livonia, Michigan (where this company is located). The Southeastern Michigan Better Business Bureau has no record of this company, either.
Any ideas, advice, comments, etc? I figure the worst thing that can happen is I'll show up and not like what they have to say, and have wasted an hour of my time.
