After close to a year and a half of searching for a job to no avail, I had another interview today.
There was something different about this interview, this job was pretty much handed to me on a silver platter.
It's a new company which is supported by several large corporations(such as Procter & Gamble, Macy's and McDonald's for example) and their main purpose is to teach their workers entrepreneurship skills. Survey taking is also a large part of what this company does.
It seems far too good to be true to me. The person interviewing me told me that it's 100% legit and there were also two people who work for the company in the room and they had nothing but good things to say about it.
It's incredibly flexible so it won't get in the way of school at all, and they plan to expand nationwide so since i'm planning to transfer out of state next year I can still work for this company. They also said they can even help me pay for college. Since I want to start my own business anyway someday, I think something like this could be very helpful.
But I can't shake off this bad feeling I have about it. Job hunting has been ridiculously hard for me and I don't understand why, i've had close to 20 job interviews and no one has hired me. I have volunteer experience but it seems as if that's not good enough. I've been rejected from Wal-Mart, the local grocery stores and even McDonald's, I have absolutely no idea what to do anymore. I don't want to reject this opportunity, and if I do, I don't think I will be able to forgive myself anytime soon. At the same time, what if this is a scam and I end up screwing myself over?
Could anyone here offer me some words of wisdom regarding this situation and suggestions of what I should do?
