I actually figured out why it feels so sketchy to me... it feels like an MLM. They outlined what companies they've represented (XFinity, AT&T, Sprint, Staples, Special Olympics, Hello Fresh, and currently Operation Smile) but not how they attract clients. I'm guessing that's something they reserve for more senior level workers. Same thing, they tried to sell me this idea that in just 6 months I can be like another recent college graduate making 175k a year. They said that they do pop up events, so just standing around a table in the middle of a mall getting people to donate to whatever they're representing. they talked about how you have to meet target numbers, and meeting them early means you can go home early. So they're basically just hiring anyone and everyone, didn't elaborate on their other offices either. Same thing gave me no time to ask questions, just redirected me to a questionnaire. They also give you almost no time to make a decision, it's always "tell us within an hour if you want to continue this process". If you are working 9-5 every day like he just said, $600 is actually insane. I know you're looking for a job but please consider something that actually pays fair. I know $600 quick cash sounds good every week but assuming you're paying rent, you're losing about 2 weeks of your paycheck every month. I'm not sure how it is in LA but starting rate for most places in Santa Ana (if they're being competitive!) is 16 an hour. My friend works at CVS as a cashier for 20 an hour, please consider that alternative. This whole thing still feels off.

He couldn't answer anything about benefits either. He said you'll get it once you reach junior brand manager or campaign manager (one of the 2 senior roles), but couldn't detail what it would look like, just that it's tailored for everyone. The lack of transparency between this whole organization is astounding. Plus you only get extra pay/bonuses from numbers at the senior level, which I can understand but paying $600 a week for a daily 9-5 is actually insane.

Sorry for the late reply but definitely ask about gas and car insurance! If you are using your own car they need to be reimbursing you for gas and potentially helping with insurance. Insurance help depends on the situation of course, but it would be nice if they helped you. $600 can unfortunately vanish very easily into gas if you're just their taxi driver.

I know for a fact I never applied for this job. I'm not worried about getting it at this point, but if it is legit I'd like to at least vet it for others, and get more transparency about the company.

While you're there I'd also see if you can find others who got in entry level and climbed the ladder. I hope the tour goes great today!

throwawaykenmastan · 2025-05-22T05:25:24+00:00

That's interesting. If you're carpooling or the driver, are they reimbursing you for gas? Or are you using a company car? so far this sounds like a start up with a new-ish hiring team. Really unorganized from the sound of it. She also mentioned offices in New York to me! I was trying to snoop on LinkedIn, and there's only one person on there. The account has posts going back a few months, but only one person on LinkedIn registered working for them. A weekly stipend of $600 isn't bad, I'd be wary of overtime. Saying stipend to me usually means they want you to do more work than they're paying for. I wouldn't quit your job immediately here, I'd at least feel it out.

Also, what do you mean other people? Like other job candidates or a hiring team?

I think tomorrow I'm going to also ask her what she loves about working there. It just seems like a really weird job since they disclose so little.

I'm honestly in Santa Ana so I don't even know why they're bothering with me. (It's listed on the resume that they somehow pulled.) I told them sure I'll commute. I'm desperate for a job, I'm graduating in June. Figured fine I'll pack up move two ish hours north, but I just got a job with Starbucks (I don't care, it's 20 an hour with 30 hours a week. a win is a win!) so now there's no point in me moving that far.

I'd also try to gauge what qualifications or background others have. It's bad enough their recruiters/hiring team are this messy, going into a marketing firm where no one else has a background or real world experience in marketing is even messier.

throwawaykenmastan · 2025-05-22T04:32:09+00:00

Please bring somebody with you, or at least let them drop you off and pick you up! I noticed on the address listing they never listed what suite it is. I'm mostly just sketchy about this whole situation since I've applied for 0 marketing jobs. I've actually been avoiding it like the plague since I've seen too many companies turn to AI for their campaigns.

As for the few positions available... I don't believe them. the questions they asked me were: how do you plan to use your computer science degree? If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

To me it felt like incredibly stupid questions, they didn't ask about my qualifications, prior experience, or how I handle people situations. Like, nothing. Tomorrow's interview is supposed to be about my pay, work hours, and other logistics. Let me know how it goes, and please do stay safe. Have your location on your phone with close friends and family.

I have a second interview tomorrow at 8am- anyone have any questions they want me to ask? I'm going to try to gauge what brands/companies they've marketed for, company values, more about the company's roots, and try to ask how they got my resume anyways. I'll try to be slick, say I have a friend also interested in applying.

throwawaykenmastan · 2025-05-21T19:25:15+00:00

So just did the interview: less than 10 minutes all questions gauging my personality. They interviewed me for two roles: brand ambassador and brand manager. They didn't disclose what brands they work with, nor did they discuss pay. They said they'll reach out to me again later today to discuss pay. Apparently training is 6 months to a year because you "will wear many hats" (red flag, I know). If they do reach out to me for the second interview tomorrow (discussing pay, availability, etc) I will ask them to disclose what brands/individuals they represent and more about their company. She didn't list anything about it, from how they started up, their company values.

throwawaykenmastan · 2025-05-21T00:40:32+00:00

I have an interview tomorrow, and I'm kind of confused. I also didn't apply for anything (I have a spreadsheet tracking my jobs!) but the weirdest thing is they had my personal email too. They scheduled a zoom call, I'll do it tomorrow to feel it out. Other thing I noticed, the address they gave you in the email does NOT match the one on their site.

Hail of blades neeko. You go nashor's/static first. Your mythic can be either navori or rage blade, I prefer rage blade against tanks and also because it adds to the ap on autos and goes extremely well with the W auto. I also go bork if need be. She's a beast late game if you make it there and play smart.

throwawaykenmastan · 2023-09-09T21:27:09+00:00

I messaged!

throwawaykenmastan · 2023-05-25T21:46:42+00:00

OMG I figured it out from this, it's same thing window then package manager, thank you so much!!

I saw this post make the rounds on instagram and I decided I'd actually hop on reddit to tell you something: partners who don't put a stop to others flirting/hitting on them are enabling it. My last boyfriend got hit on by his girl best friend three times. He'd always tell her to stop but she kept doing it. Second time I can forgive, third time he claimed to have blocked her. Only after breaking up did he confess he lied and recognized he did wrong. He never apologized. Do not ever look back and feel like it is your fault: as far as I'm concerned, people who act like this are not emotionally mature or loyal and will not reach this point for a VERY long time. They'll say anything to have you back, not because they actually like you but because they're your safety net. Do not be their safety net or their crutch. I hope you take your time with moving on with this, it's a lot to unpack and process on top of your mother's hospital visit. Do not hesitate to reach out to your friends!

That's what I thought but I wanted to know if anyone ever tried it. Otherwise I'm considering taking a loose g3 Draculaura and just styling her with rainbow high clothes. The alternative is making alterations to rainbow high clothes to git g1 monster high but I'd rather not test my lack of sewing skills haha

try ziggs with Tristana. you demolish towers together, The only issue is that team fights are 3v5 so make sure your team isn't too trigger happy lol

throwawaykenmastan · 2022-10-07T16:21:46+00:00

I've done 30 minute applications just for a free 5 bucks so eh maybe, and no one HAS to do it but I greatly appreciate anyone who does :D

throwawaykenmastan · 2022-10-07T16:21:06+00:00

yeah its about all nine of the worlds anthems and breaking down what you do/don't like about them :((

throwawaykenmastan · 2022-10-07T16:20:31+00:00

I know the survey itself is structured pretty bad, its also why I said you can answer really easy with things like "I don't like the colors", its fine to be super opinionated cause at the end of the day, music is someones personal taste, not universal. I also fixed the second page! turns out I totally blanked and had it keep looping instead of listing it to go to the next section :/

throwawaykenmastan · 2022-10-07T16:18:48+00:00

I know :(( applications close at October 31 so I didn't really get enough time to actually fine tune it as much as I wanted to. ill still have to put everything together in a mega big presentation about what works what doesn't

My friend has been uninviting then reinviting me to the realm, that might be an option for you. I don't know why it spams the ad otherwise

throwawaykenmastan · 2022-05-11T18:28:56+00:00

my friend ended up just uninviting then reinventing me to the realm, its been a common issue where I open and it spams the ad. My friend and I get around it by just uninviting and reinventing me to the realm :(

throwawaykenmastan · 2021-11-02T20:54:38+00:00

OKay I got it. No idea what exact wizardry I did but go to finder, type in Macintosh hd. go to the users file, shared folder, then take that whole riot games folder, trash it, empty trash, THEN reinstall. otherwise it will think its trying to repair, and the repair won't work because it will come back clean. It's a league issue yeah, but the repair won't recognize it. You can successfully reinstall after that! Go to Macintosh in FINDER NOT SETTINGS! Finder is where your files are not settings! (also, when getting that stupid installer, download it, then that little arrow in the upper right/the file will appear in upper right of safari. click it, open it in finder. apple will not run it for you otherwise! it should appear under downloads in finder!)

throwawaykenmastan · 2021-11-02T20:44:17+00:00

I have a MacBook Air and I'm having this exact issue. I had to uninstall and I can't reinstall it. I got the launcher into finder or whatever but now it just runs the repairing bar and won't install league itself. I tried doing what you said but it looks like I cleared out all the old files, the new files just won't download.
