I answered an advertisement on the net about getting your "Dream Job."

I got a response as mentioned in several articles on the net from one "Susan Matthews" at Trans Continental that said I should come in for an interview. I ended up canceling that interview due to skeptism but said I would be happy to reschedule.

About a week or so later, I received an e-mail from "Susan Matthews" that I had been rescheduled and would be there at the interview process for about six hours to please make sure you have the time.

Meanwhile, I didn't record the company web address and went searching for it on the web. Searching revealed several articles about what a rippoff it was as far as "Talent Scout" jobs were concerned.

First of all, I would never work for any company that paid commisions only even if it was for "just" the first thirty days.

Second, after reading all of this on the internet from reputable companies such as TV stations investigating, the Better Business Bureau (Whom I believe in), and several newspapers, I decided I didn't need to waste my time.

I've reviewed several web sites that have made comments both pro and con for this company. I'd say about 90% of the comments were all negative.

Thanks for keeping me from wasting one of my days working hard to find a job.
