American Sales Network - ASN Do NOT sign up for this program!! Waste of money!! Los Angeles California
Do not sign up for this service! It is the biggest waste of your money. I originally found them through monster or careerbuilder. They claim they can place you in the best pharmaceutical, marketing, and sales positions. It's true that every few weeks they send you an email with possible job matches for you, but the job matches are almost always identical to the ones that monster and careerbuilder send weekly. You are basically paying a monthly fee for what you can get through monster and careerbuilder for FREE.
They also have a sales course that you can take, where if you pass, you are automatically given "priority status". So on top of the monthly fee of $30, you are paying $65 more to get a thin, useless book of information that is mostly common sense. ASN tells you that you have an "unconditional 30 trial period", but what they don't tell you is that the book has to be in perfect condition, and you can't take the test if you want to return it. But what is the point of getting it in the first place if you don't take the test? Doesn't everyone want the priority placement?
Don't subscribe to this service! It's a complete waste of money. I ended up finding a job on my own through monster anyway.

Dear Mr./Mrs. "Anonymous" from Los Angeles (hmmm...sounds like a staff member of the company to me...): I called as a response to getting an email about a job match from careerbuilder. As I was listening to this "rep" trying to clearly sell me something that I can do on my own with FREE sites like monster, ideed, etc., I knew that this was a scam. As soon as I told the rep, "Why should I pay a fee for something I could do on my own with free resources at my disposal?", he hung up.
Doesn't sound very legitimate to me.
I have been taken advantage of by a company like yours in the past. Not this time!
How dare your company prey on people during this desperate economic time!
No shame!

I have used ASN for job placement services and it was a pleasant process. The Sales Reps were very helpful and gave me complimentary resume critique to help me look better to some larger companies. I did my due diligence, and they have a great grade on the BBB (BB, which is like a B+), and all their information was readily available.
