Anyone ever had the misfortune of having a work trial with a marketing firm? The keyword here is COBRA. The Cobra Group, which consists of shitty little marketing firms.

I'll explain what happened later but just wanted to ask if anyone's been a victim of these scum? I'm not from Liverpool but there's a company called JMS Marketing. I'd advise anyone and everyone on this earth to stay well clear of them!

Not being funny but did you check them out before working for them? Google throws up some interesting feedback such as: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=19558 and cobra & JMS: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43203771818

The when you type jms marketing into Google, the first suggestion is scam. Never a good sign.

Got an interview and they completely bulshitted everything. "We were very impressed by your CV, you'll be promoting our products to clients and practising marketing techniques" Is it fuck, more like you'll be knocking on doors all day to get old vulnerable people to sign up to some charity! And 100% of their money wasn't even going to the charity.

Only worked for 3 days, as I came to my senses that they're just running me around like a headless prick. Actually no, even headless pricks have better things to do than run around in the freezing cold, knocking on doors on some shitty estate council in Northern England.

loads of these sorts of companies - think someone else has had an experience with them but pulled out before an interview stage and they realised what they were like.

Yeah, I went for a job at some random 'marketing' firm after Uni and the same happened to me. In the interview I asked about three times what I would actually be doing and they managed to evade the question each time, it seemed well dodgy. Didn't bother turning up the next day.
