"Selective Entertainment" not a real company Glendale California
I was contacted for an interview with this company back in September 08. I saw the posting on an entertainment careers website where the company was offering 50k salary to be a 2nd personal assistant to the owner... sounded too good to be true to begin with. I was a little wary of the interview process... they asked us to show up in all black at the Starbucks in Glendale.
They were interviewing people back to back all day 30 minutes apart at this location and asked us to bring resume copies and photographs. The 2 'representatives' claimed that the company was brand new and were branching into music, fashion design, casting, and television production and that the owner/lead artist had several projects under wraps.
They emphasized that only black could be worn at the office and that ladies had to wear 3-4 inch heels at all times because it was more sophisticated and they wanted to be taken 'seriously' as young entreprenuers. It was a little strange but I wasnt going to argue given the circumstances of the salary.
After the interview the women promised to follow-up but never did, even after I phoned myself to follow-up. None of the projects that they said were 'under wraps' have come to light yet, and I definitely have been watching and waiting. From the beginning something seemed off about the interview and the company, but I haven't said anything until now.
The lead actor's IMDB page has been removed from the database, which is a little strange. The company has no address, phone number, or official website-- I'm beginning to think it was all a hoax! To the person who started the post: Please do not send your personal work/screenplays to any companies who even sound sketchy--
I've been shopping entertainment jobs for a while and have started to realize that a lot of them aren't legit! Now I am extra cautious about where I send my resumes and spec scripts because there are people all over the internet profitting off of your ideas and personal info!
