THIS IS A LONG ONE!
i answered an ad for a management trainee program that deals with missing and exploited children. I get to the place and they had a group seminar to discuss the different programs they do (like fingerprinting, going to schools to speak to the kids about not talking to strangers, working with local police departments, doing the "have you see me" mailings.... lies, lies). All of the speakers were well dressed, college educated, well spoken.... and they were looking for college grads to come in entry level and then work within the management trainee program to ultimately become manager at one of their branches... SOUNDS GOOD?
Well, those of us that were seriously interested in the position were invited to spend a day out in the field with a few associates to see what a day would be like. My day comes and im dressed semi casual (cause i dont know where we're going) and i walk in and the most CRACKHEADISH folks i'd every seen are splitting up the groups! They put me in a group of 3 ladies and we're driving... the whole time i kept asking where are we going, WHERE ARE WE GOING, and no one would say anything! Finally they pulled into a plaza parking lot (yeah this is a good spot) and proceeded to BEG PEOPLE FOR MONEY!
NO TABLE SET OUT IN FRONT OF KMART, NO BROCHURES STATING THEIR PURPOSE, JUST ASKING FOLKS FOR MONEY FOR MISSING KIDS! and the kicker was that they didnt get an hourly wage, just a percentage of whatever they BEGGED for that day!
I was like WTF? and since i didnt drive i was stuck. I sat my happy A$$ in subway for the rest of the day.
(did they really think that anyone that went to college for 4 years was going to actually WANT that job???)
