Complaint Review: CCT International Inc & Forward Business Concept

I have been looking for an internship placement for a while now, I am currently located in the Netherlands therefore many companies I approach would have to conduct their interviews over the phone. This would lead me to the first company I've been eagerly accepted which is Forward Business Concepts. I have spoken to this Cristina DeTagle and it was just too good to be true. she told me that there are mane internship possibilities with their company but I would have to arrange my relocation and my housing myself. I agreed for the distance is great and I could not expect lobster on the first date.

I've also told her that due to the distance any interview should be done onver the phone, she told me that it would be NO problem at all. I've also told her that because this would be a placement abroad my school has to approve the company and that she could expect a call from them soon. She asked me to call the next day to verify some questions I've asked her and so I did.

The day after that my mentor calls her and she realized that Cristina is talking on a hectic pace and told her that she is new in the company, a HRM for 2 months, and that phone interviews are not allowed, she told ME differ, and that she would discuss it with her supervisor. My mentor asked her if she could talk to the supervisor, Cristina replies with "I don't know who he is,I'm new to the company, I'm sorry !"

I've reacted on another company's add but when searching for the company's info I've stumbled on this website and it became my cornerstone for investigating companies which ads I've replied on.

The next company is CCT International, Inc. there is NO website for the company, I have called and spoken to Kristin, coincidence ??? Anyways, I've spoken to her but asked for a contact person who's name was stated on the job posting: Robert McIntyre, she asked me if she could be of any help, I've told her the same story as above, I'm an international business student in my last year, I'm looking for an internship placement and I saw the ad, please provide me with some info regarding possibilities and interviews if possible. She told me that there are internship opportunities with them to please send an email with my resume and letter to "cct.international.career@gmail.com". I mean C'MON, GMAIL ???? How unprofessional is that ??

I've asked her to please provide me with a website for the company because it has to be approved my my mentors at school and she tells me to GOOGLE it. "Already did miss, could you please give me a site ?" "Our site is currently down but we have a temporary site, if you google CCT International without the Inc, you will get our temporary Myspace site."

As the first issue had my eyes open for potential and similar ones I've realized the second one as well. I've not found any of these companies in the database of Ripoff Report that's why I am contributing with my story.

Please feel free to see for yourself, maybe I was not lucky enough with these companies but one thing is certain I will start as from today to follow my gut feelings. I suggest you do the same.

Sincerely,
