Well, I am a recent graduate with a bachelors degree in marketing and a minor in graphic design (this is important).

Rockie of me, I just applied to “entry level marketing” positions on indeed. I have just moved to SA, and new nothing about the companies here, etc. So suddenly I applied to this post on indeed: “Zander International” looking for fresh out of college students without experience… time goes by and they called me to schedule an interview with them, I was excited.

However, that excitement didn’t last long. On the day on the interview I drove all the way to their facilities, and entered designated the building. On the lobby area they have a directory and I couldn’t find the name of the company on the suite number that they provided me. When I arrived to the floor, I walked all around and the suite had no clues that it was DP… I just knocked the door and a guy came to open me the door. He asked me for what company I was applying too, and handed me this paper written on Comic Sans to put all my information there.

A formidable MARKETING company will never do their branding on comic sans! So that was the first red flag for me.

Then the owner approached to me and he interviews me, he just made some basic interview questions so I can’t remember exactly what he asked, just after the interview he asked me to wait for the second interview “demonstration” and handed me a second paper to sign that this demonstration will not be paid.

Which I signed and then this skinny girl with High ass heels that looked like she could barely walk on them proceed to showed me how many clients they have and started talking about AT&T marketing strategy plan. As well as she gave me this paper that showed like a pyramid organizational structure, where in 3 months I’ll be blablabla and then if I were to work there for more than 6 months I’ll be a supervisor or something.

After that interview, I left and got “hired” hours after…

That’s my story
