Another warning is for people in the Marketing/Advertising field. If a job that's posted on Monster or CareerBuilders looks shady or too good to be true, it probably is. My favorite is the jobs that are in bold and all capital letters that say "Entry-Level Marketing. No Experience Necessary."
A friend of mine applied and got invited for an interview. The told her to wear comfortable shoes since she'd be spending the whole day with the company watching what they do on a daily basis. Comfortable shoes to an interview? That still didn't give her a clue that something was wrong.
The interviewer tells her that he's going to be meeting clients in DeLand (1 hour out of Orlando) and tells her to come along.
Turns out that the company specializes in selling coupon books door-to-door. The "clients" this guy had to meet with were whoever happened to be home that day. My poor friend went door-to-door with guy in the pouring rain in her new business suit that she had bought for the interview.
She called me crying at the end of the day. I think the company was Wentworth or Marketing Dynamics or something like that.
