I received a letter in the post from Vector Marketing asking to call the office, as I had been recommended for a student sales position. I was skeptical of a mail offer for an interview, but as I had nothing but an internship over the summer I decided the least I could do was research the company and give it a try. I filled out a quick online application, and someone was within touch in the next hour. They did not ask many questions, but immediately scheduled an interview with me for that evening. I was still skeptical about not being given time to prepare for an interview, but I went anyway. I was nervous going into the building, as it was dead quiet, no insignia on the doors, and a winding maze to the "waiting room." I thought about leaving, but decided I had driven in, the least I could do was hear them out. In the "first round" of interviews, I filled out a brief application that was then taken to the District Manager for approval. I asked the receptionist if she needed my resume, and she declined. This struck me as very odd, but not as odd as the meeting with the manager. I was called into the manager's office with another applicant, and was told that we had both made it to the next round of interviewing- we hadn't even been asked a single question at that point. The "second round" was essentially a sales presentation to myself and two of the other applicants: what Vector Marketing was about, what product they sold (Cutco is the only product they manage), and how pay worked. As the "interview" progressed, I realized that my skepticism was well-placed. After still being asked no questions, we were told that all three of us had made it to the "third round." At this point, I realized that Vector was just looking for people, not necessarily the best or most qualified for sales positions, but just bodies with new contacts that they could try to sell their product to. I was given an additional application to fill out before I would be hired, which asked for the names of ten people looking for a job. As the manager had already left the room and was nowhere to be found, I simply wrote that I appreciated their interviewing me, but I was obviously not the person for their job. I do feel that this would be a good job for outgoing undergraduate students with little to no work experience, but not for a graduate student with plenty of previous work experience and little need for a "multimillion dollar international company" to bolster my resume with.
