My brother is looking for another job. He really does hate working at Starbucks. =\
Heh. I kind of dont blame him. He tells stories of countless dorks.
Who later come to the snakcbar/icecream shed/gift shop.
-.-
So, yeah, he is looking for another job.
He got some kind of letter today from a company called Vector. The letter goes like this:
Dear *I-dunno-if-he-wants-his-real-name-here*
Due to our company's continued growth and expansion, we currently have openings for summer work. I would like to invite you to apply.
Vector is an international company established in 1981...blah blah blah blah stuffs.
One of the things that stood out was:
Excellent starting pay
Naturally.
Not once in the letter did it mention just what the company does.
0.o
I looked up the Vector website, to see what it is they do, exactly.
Nothing there, really.
Just mentioned a company called Cutco.
My brother called, to schedual an interiew. The lady receptionist was trying to give him directions on how to get there, and well..um...my brother is very directionally challenged. X_+
So he gave the phone to me, so I could get the directions in a way so that anyone could understand them.
The place she described, I knew it well, as I had gotten lost there before. It is a grey colored dumpy place. When you go there, it makes you hate the city. =\
After the phone call, we decided to google "Vector, Cutco", and see if we can see how the companies relate to each other, blah blah blah.
And then it was like Whoa.
There were a lot of links like this and this.
Yeah, yeah, you can post anything on the internet, but, eh, there was a lot of that kind of stuff. And I had kind of suspected it. It just seemed so..shadey, I guess.
I called the number they had on the letter, and said my mom googled their company, and found suspicious stuff about scamming. (My mom is crippelingly computer illiterate, and not home at the time <.<;;;; )
The lady receptionist said my mum could talk to her manager, if she liked.
Me: Well, what does your company do?
Reception lady: The position your brother is applying for is level entry, pretty basi-
Me: Well, I mean, just what does your company actually do?
Reception lady: ......Um..there-is-a-call-on-the-other-line mmbble mmble mmble *click*
Intriguing.
