I was also fishy about the company. I found it weird that they have never been heard of and I can't find any information on the Larry Hon guy. I don't think that he exists. The gal showed awards and a "expensive bottle of wine" and the award looked cheap so I bet they just made for themselves and the wine I think they just put a different label and a cheap bottle.
I went in for the first interview and I had my interview with another person, which I found odd and a little frustrated! I then got the call back for the 2nd interview and when I showed up there was already over a dozen people in the office and more and more people kept coming in. And so the gal moved us to the classroom and just more and more people came in and she started going off on the information of the company. I felt very disvalued! I know that I have alot more experience than the 18 year olds that were in the room.
I was so excited for this job that I called everyone I knew that I found a job and I was so excited, only now to find out that I've been had and I'm so frustrated and dissappointed I can't even explain that in depth enough of what a punch in the gut that was. I'm very dissappointed! I'm glad someone else thought that as well!

Thanks for the heads up! I applied to an ad I found on KSL.com where they advertised a need for a receptionist (as well as office support types like managers, marketing, etc) and got called for an interview the next day.
I thought it was odd when "Whitney" didn't seemed terribly concerned that I couldn't hear her. I explained that I was driving to another interview so the noise level was high, but she made no effort to call me back or give me her number so I could call her (like all the real companies I've spoken with have done). Instead, she just shouted louder into the phone and was largely unconcerned that I didn't understand everything she'd said. I got a very call-center like vibe from her. Now I understand her attitude-- she probably had at least 50-100 other people to call in the exact same way, for the exact same position, so who cares if I can't find the address or don't bring my resume? I also thought it was odd when she called me this morning to make sure I WAS coming to the interview FOR SURE. Most legitimate companies don't hunt down potential employees-- in this economy, they don't have to.
Anyhow, I just wanted to thank you for letting me know not to waste my time or gas going to my interview today. So far, all I've lost is a three minute phone call and a morning of horrified research into Scentura.
