There was a relatively small career fair today in the Double Tree Hotel, which is very close to the San Jose airport. I found there a big room with about 20 exhibitors. The picture on the left was taken with a cell phone, but it gives you an idea of the event.
Three exhibitors are training institutions teaching online marketing, biotechnology, and culinary. 5-6 desks represented network marketing companies, which is not exactly the traditional type of employment, but rather self-employment. I asked all of them if they represent MLM industry and neither one answered positively. The folks are ashamed to be in Network Marketing, but they are not ashamed recruiting others into that line of business.
The ugliest in that group was the company called Primerica (Eve Meyer team) . When asked they do not disclose which positions they have. No wander - they have no single position in the traditional sense. Instead they ask you for your resume stating that based on resume the appropriate manager, one out of six present, will talk to you. It was a lie.
The next person, who was not able to answer any single question and used written presentation to talk about the business opportunity he recruits people for. I have never seen anything that miserable, that much discrediting the Network Marketing industry. Stay away from the crooks.
Besides MLM companies there were 3 or 4 investment/life insurance companies recruiting sales agents. These people at least looked and talked in a very professional manner. There was nothing sleazy about them.
Regular format of full-time employment was represented by literally 3 companies:
- one in medical technology field
- another happened to be Lexus dealership
- and one more company was a manufacturer of some metal parts
