A nice pair of bullocks.
I've delved into the fray of properly looking for a job and I've got a piece of advise for all. Internet job-sites are rubbish.
Almost all the jobs advertised for 'Management Trainee' or 'Business Development' usually refer to commissioned-based road show staff. Then call it as it is!
They throw in some management 'training' - that is, sit you down for one or two lectures a week and expect you to be trained? Whats even more saddening is that I've met a few people who have been working in such companies who are actually HAPPY there? Come on! Can't you see they are taking you for a ride and not to mention free labour?
I got a call this morning regarding one of these positions. The first thing I asked was whether it was a commission based position. I have no idea how they got my resume. Must be bloody JOBstreet.com.
Actually, I've been to one of such 'interviews'. They are professional and work from a nice office which is usually in a prestigious address. They dress well and ask you to do all those character tests etc. But they don't tell you what the job is REALLY about. When I found out (after wasting 2 days of my life) I walked out of the third round interview.
Farking 'ell. Screw them all. Nothing beats the newspapers.
