A change to the schedule

Well this post going to be a witty and informative segment about me, my career aspirations, qualifications, CV etc. However a few other things have happened today that warrant a mention.

1. London Green Marketing  - So I received an email today from someone at 'London Green Marketing' in response to a job that I applied for on reed.co.uk. The position was 'Events and Marketing Executive' and I was delighted to hear that I had been selected for an interview. As I have applied for so many jobs recently I decided to quickly go online to remind myself of the company and as I typed in 'London Green Marketing' the first suggestion to appear was 'London Green Marketing scam'. Yes, that's right. A scam. "But how?" I hear you ask. Apparently they get you in for an interview, which they then tell you went really well. Then they offer you the job and on your first day you go out for 'training' and guess what? It's door-to-door sales, hardly a role that can be described as "Events and Marketing Executive'. Not only that, if you do stick around for the job you have to call in your sales everyday on what turns out to be a premium rate number! So a massive thanks to all you people at London Green Marketing, life as a graduate job seeker is depressing and soul destroying enough without your rubbish recruitment techniques.
2. Bright Network - One bit of good news, I recently got invited to join the Bright Network, a recruitment agency site dedicated to finding new graduates like me a position that suits them. I got a phone call from a lovely girl called Jess in their offices today who talked to me about what I wanted to do, what I was up to, and my previous experience. Fingers crossed it leads to something, either way it's nice to know that there are companies out there that still care about keeping the cycle of graduate recruitment going.
