searched "event planning jobs in rochester, ny" and this came up, It sounded like a pretty legit position and I assumed it would actually be a job about MANAGING and PLANNING EVENTS. wrong. good thing I looked on here first before my phone interview.
This position is exactly what some people below have shared: this is actually an in person sales position. They want you to go into stores (sam's clubs) and malls and try to sell people products from the specific "clients" they work for. It has nothing to do with any actual "event managing" or planning.
When I mentioned that this is not at all what I was looking for, and that I thought it was more of a desk job, with obvious set up and working the "event," she suggested that I wait to get back in touch in 2 weeks, because they were opening another location in a different city and there would be movement in the company and that I may possibly be able to apply for an HR position then.
Also a Texas number called my phone for this first interview, and I'm in NY, so was the location I was applying to. scam.
