Help Wanted
Went in for an “Office Manager” position. When I arrived, there were 20 other people waiting for interviews with me. That raised a major red flag, but I thought I’d roll with it and see what was going on.
One-by-one I started seeing people emerging from the interviewer’s office looking confused and dejected.
They pulled me in for my appointment and said the position was cold-calling insurance sales.
I confronted them about it immediately, and even pulled up the job description on my phone. They said, “Well, if you sell really good, you can get a promotion to office manager.” Get a promotion to be a glorified receptionist?
No way.
I flat-out told them they were unethical for lying to desperate people during a bad economy and walked out.
