Beware of job ads which do not provide provide a company name. If the job ad provides a telephone number, do a Google search and you may find out the name of the advertiser.
Do not respond to any job ads which include www.whyflipburgers.com unless you like going door-to-door to sell expensive Kirby vacuum cleaners ($1800-$2200) for commission only pay with no benefits as an independent contractor. Independent Kirby distributors are paying the Kirby Company for access to use whyflipburgers.com in their sales recruiting ads.
All the job postings on Craigslist, advertised by independent Kirby distributors, state a monthly pay of $1600 ($1800 or $2000) per written agreement, equipment setup, customer service, and other deceptive statements.

Apply Now Interview Tomorrow!! -- Full Time Positions Open
Beware of attractive and deceptive job ads which offer entry-level training in management, marketing, and sales especially if the ad does not provide a company name, traceable telephone number or company website. You do not know from the ad whether they are a Nigerian job scam, a company recruiting for door-to-door salespeople to sell phone service, discount coupons, expensive vacuum cleaners, cheap imitation perfume, or expensive cutlery. Do not get tricked by ads with "Fortune 500". Beware of ads which state "Pay is based on performance." The job advertisers do not want to scare away the job seekers by saying the job pays commission.
If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions before accepting employment. Will you be paid minimum wage or commission? Are there company benefits such as vacation and insurance?
The following job ad could be used for any American city as it has no company identification, no company website, and no telephone number.

Keltic Enterprises (Norcross, GA)
Keltic Enterprises in Raleigh, NC is a Smart Circle affiliate. If you want to work for Keltic, be aware that you would be selling discount merchant tickets for commission pay and you would be walking for many hours. If you interview with Keltic, ask them as many questions as you can about the company, about the job, and about the pay. Will you get benefits such as insurance and paid time off?
Note, in June 2011, the domain name, kelticenterprises.com was previously used by another Smart Circle affiliate located at 3200 Atlantic Ave., Suite 116, Raleigh, NC 27604, 919-896-7622. The owner of the Raleigh affiliate apparently decided to use worldwide-vision.net, which they had already owned, and use kelticenterprises.com for their new Norcross, GA location.

Pure Talk Marketing, Inc (Tukwila, WA)
Pure Talk Marketing, Inc (631 Strander Blvd., Tukwila, WA) outside of Seattle, has the same address as Sound Marketing Group, Inc, sm-mktg.com. It appears from both websites that Sound Marketing Group sells discount coupons and Pure Talk Marketing solicits customers at Home Depot for home remodeling work. At Sound Marketing, the more coupons you sell, the more money you make. At Pure Marketing, you make minimum wage if you do not earn a certain commission level.
Beware of attractive, but possibly deceptive job ads which offer entry-level training in management, marketing, and sales especially if the ads state "no experience required". If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions before accepting employment. Will you be paid minimum wage, commission, or the greater of the two earned? Are there company benefits such as vacation and medical and dental insurance?

Beware of attractive, but possibly deceptive job ads which offer entry-level training in management, marketing, and sales especially if the ads state "face to face" and "no experience required". If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions before accepting employment. Will you be paid minimum wage or commission? Are there company benefits?

There is no problem with working a commission-only door-to-door job with no benefits (vacation, paid-time-off, medical, dental, and vision insurance) or sales expense reimbursement as long as you were informed of the job details before accepting employment.
Be well informed before you accept employment for a commission-only job so you can be trained to run your own independently owned Cydcor licensed office. Do you want to own and run a Cydcor office?

Impact Group International, Inc (Walnut Creek, CA)
Beware of attractive, but possibly deceptive job ads which offer entry-level training in management, marketing, and sales especially if the ads state "face to face" and "no experience required". If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions before accepting employment. Will you be paid minimum wage or commission? Are there company benefits?
Beware of invitations for an all-day second "interview". If you decide to go to the second "interview", wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing lots of walking trying to sell door-to-door.
Do you really want to go door-to-door soliciting small and medium size businesses to buy office supplies from a Quill catalog? Most businesses already have relationships with Office Max, Office Depot, Costco or Staples, so why would they buy supplies from someone who just showed up at their door without an appointment? Besides Quill.com is a subsidiary of Staples. The persons responsible for office supplies can always go to quill.com and buy the merchandise at their leisure without the pressure of a salesperson who just showed up at the door.
What does Impact Group do that is "international"?
If you interview with IGI (possibly their new company name, as is the modus operandi of Cydcor affiliates to change their name to three letters) ask them what is "international" about their company.
