Hi guys.
My friend was called up for an interview as a management trainee
but he doesn’t remember applying for this position.
He received this email after speaking to a lady from EY (not
Ernst and Young) who called and she said they’re a financial
company. She said they had engaged a headhunting company but are
unable to reveal which website (JobsDB or JobStreet, etc) it is due
to confidentiality purposes.
She also said it’s not an MLM company and are
purely a financial company.
This is the email:
Hi XXXXX,
This position will be a management trainee
Your interview details are as follows:
Date: 15/07/09 (Wed)
Time: 3pm.
Venue: 402 Delfi Orchard, Orchard Road #06-01
Please bring along a hard copy of your resume certificates and
IC
You can contact me at 6507XXXX
A confirmation reply would be much appreciated upon receiving
this email.
Thanks
PXXXXX
Anyone can advise? Thanks.
If they found your profile in a job website like JobsDB, that
means they should already have a copy of your resume with them.
(your resume would have been posted at the job site for them to see
right? )
Asking you to bring another copy should already alert you to be
careful.
And what crap confidential headhunting info can they not
reveal?
If it was a legitimate headhunting firm, the headhunter will be
calling you first to find out more about you, not the client
company.
I suspect it could be those companies seeking participants to
their "wealth seminars". They want people to sign up for
their seminars which they will teach you financial planning and
those NLP stuff. Yes, you get to pay them money to join their "I
want to make you rich" seminar.
If you are curious, can go see what it is all about, but never
sign anything or provide too much personal details to them if you
find it is not a job interview.
