Im not sure if they have it up in mass but try vector marketing.
The money is horrible in the begging but i had a friend after 6 months there he was making near 10k every two weeks, BUT he was working and selling his *** off. Not to mention its also a door-to-door type sales, but hey its worth a shot to gain experience

well looks like its back to the drawing board. apparantly 12 hour days and being the last one to leave the office everyday and 900 cold calls in 5 days wasn't enough hard work to keep a job after a week and a half. I messed up and i can admit that. now i know.
so if there is anything else out there please let me know. kinda feel like dogshit right now but hey it is what it is

yeah as sad as that seems. came in after the weekend and it was going to be my 9th day working there. said i didnt study the jobs we had to offer people enough and told me they are letting me go? it was the weirdest place i've ever worked. mind you i had 0 expirence in the staffing industry. said all i have going for me is my hard work and they said i didnt work hard over the weekend so they let me go. after i put in about 60 hours with them last week. getting there at 7:45am leave between 7:00 and 8:15pm everyday when the schedule is 8:30am to 6pm i guess their is no excuse really i didnt study enough this weekend
if u have 0 expirence in staffing and want to get into the business dont try out that place lol

Don't worry, I have been looking for a full time job for over a year and a half since I graduated. I have had 5 interviews, 1 of which is my current job and 2 were for promotions at my current job. The other two were for Wegman's and Wal Mart. It doesn't feel good when they reject you from stocking produce. 
I get paid WAY more than I would doing that, but I honestly feel like I would have been happier working at wegmans for now.
I have gotten other 'offers' a lot of stuff for selling insurance. They prey on people like us for that. Basically they train you and expect you to sell everyone you know insurance and then open your own little office or essentially do what you just did. Problem is, I have an issue with insurance companies and I do not really have a large network of connections.
From what I have seen, my friends, family etc. Right now it is who you know. My gf has been passed up for a lot of teaching jobs because of people getting jobs through someone they knew working at a school. She has a great resume as well, 3.6 gpa, day care experience, volunteering at schools, long term subbing, treasurer of some honors organization...she was really involved and got nothing. It is frustrating for sure.

I worked my *** off. Something was strange about that place. It was like they hired me knowing they were going to fire me. Literally i was the last person in the office all 8 days i worked there. I even stayed till 7pm on friday when everyone was gone at 4pm. I had 16 in house interviews lined up this week with canidates when they said i should aim for 10 a week. I was suppose to read and learn about the companies over the weekend. I didnt do it enough i admit that but i mean it was my weekend after 60 hour work week and it was fathers day. I looked over the jobs came in and they were like yea we can tell u didnt study enough its a bad sign to come we r letting u go. I was speechless lol
