I got a phone call today from some company. I would tell the name but the lady that called me wouldn't tell me the company name, she said that they were new in the area and I wouldn't know them. I asked if she was from a recruiter company, she said no. I asked various questions and she told me some rather vague generalities.
That triggered some thought in the back of my head. After thinking about it for a few hours I started my research (all of 30 minutes of it) and realized I was right. I checked on craigslist, CareerBuilder, and Monster. Quite a few of the ads were vague. They didn't want to tell you what they did but they most assuredly promised the moon. Vague about what they were selling, vague about what they did, pretty much they were trying to get a huge number of people to come in and if a handful were viable then they were still on the plus side.
A lot of these vague posts seem to be entry level marketing (door to door selling), high earning potential (commission only), not door to door (business to business sales), or growth industry (commission insurance).
Waste of time for me. Maybe it will work for some companies but if you can't tell me real information then I don't think I'll spend any time on you.
