Scammers to the left of me, Scammers to the right of me

Indian job search assholes!

First off, they’re really hard to understand.

Second off I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that they’re all scammers.

After dicking around with some company out of Austin, TX for 3.5 weeks it turns out that they’re just interested in selling me their training. 

I applied to a position they’d advertised that I was qualified for and they tried the old bait and switch.

For those who may be interested the company name is Ace IT, they’re based in Austin, TX and they’re posting job openings that may or may not be real. I believe, based on my experience with them, they’re posting these openings in an effort to engage with potential workers then sell that worker on buying their training courses. 

Trouble is, the person searching for a job is looking for employment, not to purchase another set of training courses to put on their resume.

I’m looking for a position NOW, not three months from now. I’m not in a position to spend a shit ton of money on some bullshit “training”. I don’t need to be screwed with, and I don’t need to have my time (and money) wasted in endless “mock” interviews that go nowhere.

Is the job available or not? Are you interviewing me for the job I applied for? If either of those two questions is “No,” then we have nothing more to discuss.

They may really be helping some people, but the fact of the matter is the way they go about their business is slimy. 

Be honest! Be direct! Be useful!

Cut the bullshit!

I should have trusted my instincts.

They claim to have gotten 2000 people jobs in the past four years. 55 People per month… Somehow that just doesn’t seem like a lot.

Another LinkedIn bullshit company to muddy the waters. This is why I cancelled my LinkedIn account years ago, and probably why I’m going to cancel it again. What a waste of time!

Now I’m going to get on with the rest of my day, but first an aspirin for the headache, then I’ll block all Ace IT email and phone numbers. They’re obviously not a serious company.
