I applied for the "Manager in Training" position at SoftRock. First, what kind of a company will give you an "interview" immediately after applying for the job? This was red flag #1 - but I was curious so I went to the interview anyway. Next, when I arrived in the lobby, there were about 20 other people waiting with me (cattle call?). My interview lasted about 5 minutes and I was told "they'd like me to come on board" and go to a second interview (after further research on the company, I will not attend).

Basically the company's revenue model is to get people (employees) to post fake job listings on craigslist or online job posting forums. The company then gets personal information and sells the leads to online college programs (like Phoenix, etc.) So their very business model is based on dishonest and deceit. Apparently the "manager in training's" job is to verify these leads. Even if this position is ultimately a real job - unlike the other jobs working at SoftRock, I couldn't work for a company with so little integrity.

If you are a real professional, with real experience and a real education, this job is not for you. If you are a former Amway salesman, this job might be right up your alley.
