Received a call from a Kim from that number last week. It just didn't sound right. What company interviews on a Saturday? Just received the same call from Kim. The same BS was passed to me about management positions and Administrative support positions available. Then she gives me the whole shebang about it being a Supplemental Insurance Company that works exclusively with unions and the NFL, etc. Sounds like the same deal that Aflac was trying to pull on me. Why is it when you post a resume on Career Builder or Monster, the only calls you get for employment are from these Supplemental Insurance companies that provide no real benefits, do not pay during a month long "training" program, and provide you with cold leads, or none whatsoever. I do not want a position in sales. My resume says nothing about sales. I want a steady income with health benefits, etc working in an office environment.
A word to the wise....Steer clear of these alleged sales positions.
These people will not stop calling me. I completely deactivated my account on CareerBuilder and removed my number from Monster - unfortunately it's too late because they already have my phone number. They called and left me a message last Friday, June 22, and here's what was said: "Hello, this call is for Nicole, this is just a confirmation call with your attendance on your interview, on Saturday the 23rd of June, please do call me or let me know if there are changes as well as please do email me confirming your attendance on Saturday. Have a great day, bye." There are MULTIPLE things that are wrong with this call. 1) She NEVER mentioned the company once on her voicemail. 2) She NEVER mentioned her name. 3) I NEVER contacted ANYONE about doing an interview and she made it sound like I already set up everything to come in. Obviously, this is their ploy to get you to call back so they can get you to come in. I did not call back and I wouldn't even know who these people are had I not come to 800notes (Thank you everyone for posting about your situations, otherwise none of us would know).
Unfortunately, this story continues. I did not call back because I did not want to talk to anyone about this, and I obviously would never go to an interview I never set up. I received an email on Sunday, June 24 from "Theo Pappas".
I am going right now to click the link to opt out of any more emails from them, and I just pray they stop calling me. And now, today, June 25, I just received another call from them, but no message was left. How funny is it that almost everyone on here that posts about this company gives it a different name? I was told National Income Life in the email, someone else said Pappas Asssociates, and Nilco Insurance...please, don't fall for this.
I went just to c what it was about. It is a three step interview for a national life insurance company.
first they give u a survey to fill out about ur self. Then if u pass u move the #2 interview. They make u watch a long video of successful happy employees before they start their group interview/presentation. It reminded me of a pyramid scene. oooo yeah no criminal background check were mentioned however u do have to take and pass a NYS Insurance exam that u have to pay for. so I stopped at group interview 2. Yes, no paid training u the out of work person must pay for everything. LOL
Hi everyone,
so I got called to go to this interview tomorrow....judging from the comments here I do not want to go now.
Can anyone else comment on this?
Got a call from this number. I had removed my resume, so I thought, from both monster.com andcareerbuilder.com. Message about ifi was ifi was still on the market to call them. I deleted the message.
