I just took one of those "what drug are you?" quizzes and apparently I'm heroin. I went back and changed my answers twice to try and get something else because I really don't want to be heroin, but it wouldn't give me a different drug. Maybe I really am heroin.
I wasn't too clear on my last post. Basically, my current boss cut down my hours because he doesn't need me as much, so I went out and got another job to work part time as well. I saw an ad on craigslist and applied, I went in for an interview yesterday and stayed for a second interview, then found out later that night that I got the job. I was super psyched but scared at the same time because of what this job requires of me. I have to sell their product to my own clients- I have to go to friends and family and give them a presentation and hope they buy it. The company is super competitive and growing like wildfire and it pays really well but I don't know if I can handle it. It's actually a really great product, but I'm still anxious about being a sales rep. At least I get my own website.
As far as my rant from yesterday, I'm feeling a bit better about it. I talked to Fragola and Birte via myspace and phone, and I got my feelings out there. I hope everyone understands how unfair my disclusion is and that things start to turn around. Most of all, Sarah needs to grow up and realize that high school is over- and everyone else needs to stop making excuses for her and taking her shit. That's just my opinion.

Your probably working for Vector Marketing, I wouldn't advise it. I've heard nothing but medicore to bad things about them. Check out this if you want other's opinions:

Actually it's Hale Enterprises. Know anything about them?
I've heard that Hale and Vector are rather similar. They both seemed to have the same process of hiring and sales. Check the Vector web site and see if there are any similarities you notice.
http://www.vectormarketing.com/
Other rumors have been Hale was founded by people who left Vector or worse is a ghost compant of Vector (sounds like a CIA conspiracy, I know)
Best I can say is to just try it out and see what happens from there. Only thing I would not do is spend your own money on a job...if they REALLY want you they will pay for everything.
On the craigslist ad, it said Hale is not an MLM company, however that means nothing to me as I don't know what an MLM company is. Hopefully not associated with Vector because I read the first website you posted and it looks pretty shitty.
There are some obvious differences that I noted between my company and the Vector description. I get paid $17.50/hour whether or not I sell anything and the training is free. I don't have to pay anything to start working unless I want to buy a $20 sample thingie.
On the other hand, the job description was VERY vague when I applied and I didn't find out that I'd be finding my own clients and selling to people I know until the second interview. That's probably the shittiest part of the whole job. But I'm willing to give it a chance still and just see where it takes me. I can always quit (and sue) if it starts sucking back my money!
