The Modus Operandi

After doing some extensive research on experiences of other people as well, this is their mode of operation:
  1. You receive a call from a professional sounding individual who quickly gives their name and then proceeds to pitch to you an offer for a job. 
  2. Complements aplenty are given to you on how you are an 'excellent' candidate.
  3. They are inviting you to an 'appointment' rather than an interview or even a test.
  4. You are NOT asked to bring your resume.
  5. When asked who referred you to them, they may cite an acquaintance or your old school, although sometimes this is not really the case.
  6. They do not have your information (those often found on your resume); often, all they have is your contact number, name and very few information if any.
  7. They will tell you that they are not a call center.
  8. They will advise you that there are NO COMMITMENTS yet; but then
  9. They will tell you that you sound like a professional so he/she hopes that you're professional enough not to cancel the appointment at the last minute.
  10. They will neglect (or avoid) to provide you some vital information such as: the details of the position (only general descriptions) and the details of the company (they only tell you its not  a call center and its related to healthcare).
 The information that they DO give you may vary which includes their:

Company Name : NS International, NSE Philippines, Synergy1, Synergy One, Synergy Global International, Nu Skin, Pharmanex
Company Address : 15th flr Teleperformance bldg, San Miguel ave, Ortigas; 15th flr Octagon bldg, San Miguel ave, Ortigas (this is the same building actually)
Salary : Anywhere from Php10,000 - 30,000 working part time
Interview schedule : Usually they ask you to choose between 3:30pm or 6:30pm

Please note that this information was gathered from experiences of other people who encountered the same MO.  Information may not be 100% accurate, and do not rely solely on these information.

  6. Thanks! Someone from that "company" called me a while ago. This time the company's name is NS Incorporated. Good thing every time a company calls me I automatically search for it on the net.
