I don’t want to make a huge mistake by taking a bad job, do you think its legit?
I’m a 20 year old business major who recently started looking for jobs on some career websites! I found there are lots of direct marketing jobs that offer things like paid training, and opportunities for advancement, but i need to know if they are legitimate businesses, I have checked out the website, but anyone can make a good website these days, no its not an MLM as far as I can see right now, and they are not asking for any money from me! but I want to know if it is truly a money making opportunity and a way to get a foot in the door of sales and marketing, so let me know your experiences!
so you know some of the companies I’ve interviewed with are new direction promotions, scanno advertising, o.c. marketing and tld and associates, let me know especially if you have worked with any of these they are located in cali, they all seem to do the same type of thing

Direct Marketing translates into Direct Sales. You are either going to businesses on sales calls, or you are going door to door. If this is what you like doing you can make some decent money doing it.
If it sounds too good to be true – it is too good to be true. They may not ask for money today – but they’ll ask at some point.
With college you want something “normal” but challenging. Try looking at an internship with a business listed by your university. My son interned with Firestone and has now been working for them 2 years and loves it…and no, he knew nothing about cars then…but he can sell.
Internships look great on the resume and do a good job of teaching you how to get a job and networking skills to get jobs.
