Each day I'm looking at various job search sites for some leads for gainful employment. What I find incredibly frustrating are the obviously STUPID jobs out there that are obviously a farce, that ultimately just end up wasting people's time (and money).
Case in point:
****Immediate Openings**** No experience necessary, SIX-Figure Income!!! Needed: Outgoing, energetic, success-oriented professionals for well-established Vacation Ownership Company. Enjoy a fun working environment at one of Expedia’s top-rated resorts with potential income of $5K-$10K/month. No experience necessary…just a good attitude and an enthusiastic personality!!! NO COLD CALLING, NO GENERATING LEADS, WE PROVIDE ALL THE CUSTOMERS. Call today…space is extremely limited!!!
Take a look at that posting again.
1) NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, yet the company is advertising a six-figure income. At my former job, it took me 8 years to just inch above six-figures. And that was with 8 years of experience! But THIS...this job requires NO experience! Whoo Hoo! Sign me up!
2) Notice the "potential income of $5-10k/month" Interesting that the figure is doubled. Even in my last sales job -- where the market was ripe with customers NEEDING my product because of the Y2K crunch, replacement of legacy/mainframe systems, etc, at no time did I EVER EVER EVER make $10k a month.
3) And, since WHEN ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH has any salesperson EVER EVER EVER not have to make cold calls or generate their own leads? What? I just sit in my cubicle taking purchase orders all day long? Give me a break.
But you know...space is limited, so I just might call today!
BAH!
