hey fren! i think tis company wanna tipu u to do direct sales,cos i been to a company with this kinda modus operandi! end up,i cabut during the 1st day!
*
Ive got 2 interviews today...both company also written in this section before..

1) Xtreme Dimensions (Menara Yayasan, 9th Floor, Beside Amcorp Mall)

Xtreme dimension told me to go for interview so i did. Then said will call me back IF im short listed...so i was thinking...mayb few more days la...mana tau 2hours later call me ask me go for "training" on next day at KL...

read thru wat previous forumers post...u know that they will ask u go sell things...and also a note....Xtreme Dimension is affiliated with APPCO. =) They do not have their company plate at the directory on Ground Floor. Logically as wat a forumer said before (i cant remember who, sorry!) if the company is a long term establish company...sure got plate there so ppl know u are there...

no they do not have a plate...there are 2 plates on the directory...but 1 of it is a wrong name...not Xtreme Dimensions. happened once before at an acting agency...ask me pay rm200...i didnt pay...im not so stupid...and they also no company plate at directory =.=


2) Global Impact (Kelana Jaya, Same row as King Crabs)

This company i went for interview and they were very rush to get me to interview...ask for job detail wat also dun wan tell me...so i go la....ask few simple question...and tell me they started in Singapore in 1999 and came to Malaysia in 2004, currently got over 6 branches in Malaysia. And straight away ask me go for "training" on monday at 9am-630pm. WOW?? training 1 whole day?? sure or not??? Not free labour??


My fren directed me to this forum...im thankful and also opened my mind a little bit more now about jobs....Thx to the creator of the section.

Sorry for my messy post...like refer here and there but no quote...im too stoned to post properly...its 0333 in the morning now...Gnite dear forumers...

Please becareful when u post for job application...this thread has been very helpful and informative...

walao..I also went for interview with this company one week ago..I got a call from Marcus Evan asking if I want to go for their interview, then I said I don't remember applying for the co. But she said it's ok..you can still come for interview anyway. Then she starts talking about her company..very lengthy..but anyway I said I'll come for interview just to try out. I was very skeptical but then I looked at their website..and it looks like a good co. and I don't think it's scam. So I went for the interview..and I don't reall like it. The interviewer is very arrogant and stuck-up..plus her attire is not very professional looking (very very short tight mini skirt and some more can see her b**b cleavage like going for clubbing or wat..), so I wasn't too fond when I first going to the interview bcoz the unfriendly-looking stuff. And then she start promoting her co.. saying wat I will do is selling their product to the client and blablabla very long description..I was like walao..why didn't she just mention this is a Sales position. In the phone call, I told her I was an accounting student and only looking for position in accounting or financial department..then she said it's ok..I can just come for interview and see how it goes..and she also said that working with company can give me exposure to corporate world lah..meet CEO from top companies lah..etc etc. Then at the interview she said this department I'll be working at is Sales department, and all i have to do everyday is work from office by calling clients at least 300 per day or something. lol what a big joke.. It's purely telemarketing la. She then said if I succeed, I'll be called for 2nd interview, and then by the end of the interview she said I can come tomorrow for the 2nd interview. I was like..wah so fast?? then I just go la the next day for the 2nd one..just for fun..coz I got nothing to lose, and it's a good experience too. So I purposedly not do well in 2nd one, and I start asking stuff that I think annoyed the interviewer. That b**** is very arrogant, likes to make faces and sooo unprofessional! So I also make unprofessional attitude towards her, and at the end, I think she's annoyed and said IF she likes me enough MAYBE she will call me for the job. The way she stress the If and Maybe sounds so sarcastic, but bleehhh I don't care la if they didn't call. I oso don't want to work with people with that kind of attitude.

wei....free cleavage view wor...altho its a screwed up interview but atleast u got to see something..heeheh, im a boobs guy..(likes boobs)

anyway jokes aside...why isnt the newspaper people doing something about all these misleading TITLES? like Events & Promotions...but u do direct sales job...stuff like that...Malaysia should adopt wat Indonesia is doin...gosh they are way better than Malaysia now...in terms of job advertisements...they actually have to put up:

1) Company name
2) Company address
3) Inform the government that they are hiring (for approval on ad) ---> no frauds of scam/misleading titles there i bet...
4) Firing a guy 24 hours needs to be compensated for 3months of take home salary

i've read this whole section from page 1. and ive seen sooooo many jobs tat are misleading...its all the same thing over and over again...

1) They call for interview
2) You bullshit to them (even sound like u are not fit for the job, i know...i did that)
3) Guess wat???!!! They called for 2nd interview...WOW ???? ON THE SAME DAY??? AFTER 2hours??? SO SOON????
4) You go, then they will send you to some factory or ulu ulu area. ask u sell things...
5) IF youre not lucky, u need to take a cab home...good luck.
6) You come to this forum and tell everyone...thankiu very much...

I was not so unlucky as i read this forum before getting to part (4).....thankiu forumers...well its time we did something about those misleading titles/ads in the paper isnt it?? i think its a huge waste of time to go there...and money too...and get crap from them...lied to your face...total bullshit...

I now know how to see job ads in the paper more carefully...those jobs AREN'T SCAM...they are just MISLEADING !! for those who are lazy to read from the beginning...here is a quick run thru...

1) Jobs that are titled: Events & Promotions (RM1,800-RM2,000; no experience needed, start emidietly. <----sorry, forgot how to spell)
Management Trainee
2) Not willing to tell you company name when you call them
3) Newspapers not stated their company name and/or address
4) Office = 1 reception area...1 meeting room for interview at the back...
5) Tells you that you can earn RM10,000/month. (to lure you to join)
6) Bosses/managers age 25-35 (some LOOKS younger than me, im 22)
7) Calls you and inform u made it to 2nd interview on the same day, after few hours altho they need to decide among the other 20ppl to take..
8) OR calls you for a training(practical) as the 2nd interview = send you somewhere to help them sell things = FREE LABOUR

i hope the above has helped alil...

if u need to pay anything its a scam....if no payment and they ask for too many details its a scam....

just check how they will pay u and such....if everything seems secure n no payment needed then why not try??

no harm i guess...be careful tho... =)
