Do you work at Vector Marketing? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

basically they hire everyone because everyone hired is money for them - you have to buy their knives as part of your presentation package - they make money off of you

you just call up the add in the newspaper that says

COLLEGE STUDENTS
Earn $15 per hour
Call (###) ###-####

and they'll set you up with an interview later that day.

Go to the interview, act excited about the job, and they'll hire you.

Getting a job with vector is easier than selling someone a knife.

Getting hired at vector is easier than getting some one to buy a single item.Thats really true because if you sell though you get commission the vector people become much richer because you have been able to get custtomers to them.Other customers may know the product through your customer however they may not mention your name as the root contact so you may not get paid and vector enjoys all the benefit.
I mean its just good for students on vacation.If you wanna do it as your job then you need really big luck.They show a lot of communication tatics but man that cannot turn a guy who is not intrested to buy a knive or spoon even if you sell it for a single buck.You will need luck to bump into someone who is actually in need of one ,may be not to use now but for the future.

the company hires you not only because you put a "deposit" down but because everyone above a sales rep makes money of that reps comission, that is why it is a mlm

I am finishing my PHD in economics at univ of california and gave up a $50 per hour job to try the cu*co jobr. 2 summers later, ive moved up to a sales manager. A scam? THe products have been around since 49 and weve been marketing them this way since 81. GOne from 750000 in sales in 1981 to 2000000 million. Our new reps need not buy the set for 145.46, they can borrow it, but they have to give a security deposit. THe set is worth over $500. Thats a 70 percent discount on buying or borrowing. Does anyone believe the profit margins are so high that , that they make money when reps buy a product at 70 % discount. Many of the reps return the sample kit for a full refund. NO scam there. What company wouldnt require a deposit on 500 worth of product. Ours is cool enought to only require a deposit of 30% of its value. As a teacher at UCSB in economics, i cant think of a better job where reps make as much in a week what they would in other jobs in a month. THere is a catch though, you have to get referrals to keep working. So what? THis is a good skill to learn in future business endeavors, and people will give them to you. THe people who think this job stinks are the ones who end up doing mindless work at resteraunts or valeting cars ( i did both of these in college). I have lots of reps in the office who work 20 hours a week and make $500 to $2000 per week. THe key is, learn how to get referrals and stick around long enough for the commission levels to move up beyond 20%. At the very worse, one makes 17.25 per appointmnet (we call this welfare). Having alot of expereince dealing with 18 year olds in my classes, the ones that complain about thier grade at the end of the semster are the same ones in vector who fail. THey blame everyone else but themselves, and could not handle the fact that they didnt have to show up to class, nor show up to team meetings, nor do any demos at all. Selling cutco is the best job a studnent could have
