Please do not waste your time, energy and especially your money on the services of National Sales Group.  It is a total scam and I basically feel like a fool for falling for it, but here's my story.  I signed up with them almost a month ago in the hopes that they could help me find a job in the pharmaceutical industry.  It did not feel right intuitively when they asked for my credit card over the phone to pay for a membership to obtain their services, but I was really hoping they could turn me on to all of these great positions that I found on Career Builder.  BTW, shame on Career Builder for letting NSG continue this scam.  


Basically, NSG suckers you in on the phone and then they claim that they have to send you paperwork to be signed and sent back before they can start referring potential employers to you.  Once you get your paperwork about 5 days later, sign and fax back; they claim that it will take 7 to 10 days for you to start getting these supposed referrals.  Why the long wait you might ask yourself.  It is so they can waste a bunch of your one month membership time and sucker you in for another monthly membership charge.  Also, on the first day that I called, they tried to sell me this $50 sales manual that I declined but they sent it to me anyway and charged my credit card. 


 

The worst part is NSG never notified or contacted me once regarding a possible position and neither did any of the multitudes of excellent employers they claim to have relationships with.  It's been well over 2 weeks since I sent them my paperwork back and no one has contacted me.  Needless to say, I have cancelled my membership.  I will also mention that I am a prime candidate for a senior sales position with over 10 years experience in B2B sales and I have a bachelors degree.  I find it hard to believe that nobody contacted me because I am unqualified.  The good news is that I found an awesome sales position with a great company in the action sports industry on my own.  Good luck with your job search!
