I was suprised by a phone call today from an unkown number. Since I have sent out multiple applications to various comapnies I was eager to answer the phone in hopes for a response. I thought it was my lucky day because it was a potential employer on the phone. She told me about it and let me know about my interview on Monday the 21st of Feb. When she hung up the phone it dawned on me that she was from a financial representative firm. I don't know how she got my application but after a review of the website and a call to mom and dad, I was about to be duped. After my mom researched the hell out of this company, she called me telling me that it was a place that really did not consider past experience or inexperience. I am a communication major with an emphasis in advertising and public relations. Why the hell would I get a call from a financial company?
This is a prime example of my sloppiness. A couple days ago I applied to about 6 jobs online. I could not tell you one of those compnay's names. Now I will know to write down every business that I contact. I don't need my applications being tossed around the cyber world. I am willing to expand my job hunting to other fields but a financial firm is too far of a stretch.
Feel free to learn from my mistakes.
