I applied online. I interviewed at Zengo & Co (Chicago, IL) in May 2016
Interview
Very simple but incredibly shady. You show up and they offered me a second interview instantly which gave me a sense that they would hire pretty much anyone because it wasn't much of a job. On the second interview you shadow someone on the job. "direct marketing" which basically means standing outside somewhere going up to people and trying to convince them to buy your product, in our case phones.

Interview
First you will have one-to-one interview with the manager. If you go through this interview successfully, then you will ask to go with other co-workers to watch and learn how to pitch on the street. At the end of the day, you will return to the office and they will decide you may go or stay depending on your performance on the street and co-workers evaluations.

Interview
I submitted my resume to a listing for a company called "[The White Label Firm] hoping it wasn't another one of these direct sales companies who try to snare recent grads by using the keywords "marketing" "advertising" and "PR." I had experiences interviewing for similar companies out in the western suburbs a few months ago and that proved to be a giant waste of time and gas. Around the same time I submitted my resume on LinkedIn for the jobs in the western 'burbs, I received an email from Zengo & Co. without having even applied. I asked them when I had emailed them previously, but received no response. That brings me to a couple days ago, when I applied for the position I mentioned initially. Upon googling the address, I discovered that this [The White Label Firm] had the same address as Zengo & Co., down the suite number. I've read a few articles and reviews that state this company changes its name or has multiple names, so I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise. That being said, I did not want to deceive people on the south side of Chicago into buying cheap cell phones, so I deleted the email and did not go to the interview. Apparently the interview had to happen within the following two days and would be conducted "in-person immediately," as if that were even possible.
They need to simply call it direct sales instead of roping future dopes like me in under the guise of advertising and PR. In this case, PR must not stand for "public relations," but rather "putrid racket."
