I have a new job!!! (Yes, Attention Whoring)

[Joe Biden 2020]

Does Bushie not have a cell phone? He can't be out doing something and take a call? Even my grandmother had one before she passed away.

And if he's home is it not a portable home phone?  Damn man, take it in the latrine with you if need be.......don't miss calls!!!!!

I do have a cell phone, and he called it yesterday afternoon, but I picked up the phone just after he hung up.  Doh!!!

Still no word today, yet.

What happened to 7:30 "Call my supervisor"?

I've been trying every 20 minutes since 7:30 and no one is answering...

[Joe Biden 2020]

Feeling bad now for Bushie......    Just past high noon and nada.

It'll be alright.  After HR's lunch hour, I'm tempted to walk in there and see what I can come up with.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Well, scratch ONG off the list.   They don't rescind resignation letters of any length.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I've got a bit of good news to report.  I was looking in our Sunday newspaper this afternoon for the fourth time and found an administrative assistant and light sales position for a health care company in Oklahoma City.  It would pay $600 per week plus benefits and it would be a blend of little home, but mostly office work.  They want me to come in for an interview this evening at 7:00.

My Dad told me that if the company looks reputable and they want me, TAKE IT!!!

[Joe Biden 2020]

They want to interview you? That's more than what ON-Company wanted. If they do, then take it. Unless something big comes along, you don't want to stay unemployed very long.


Good luck.

Yes, and it's only 11 1/2 miles from my house instead of thousands of miles of land plus thousands of miles of ocean plus a hemisphere away.

[Joe Biden 2020]

In case Ameripride falls through tonight, I've got another interview tomorrow morning at 11:15 with a marketing company located here in Oklahoma City just north of the OKC Airport.  This would have a guaranteed salary and benefits of $3,000 a month (IN WRITING) for Platinum Services.

So, I've suddenly gone from a hopeless case of despair about 3:00 this afternoon to 2 interviews within the next 24 hours just 90 minutes later at the current time of 4:30.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Don't they have Real Companies in Oklahoma?  I mean, I know Real Ones only pay $7-8/hour, but anyway they're real.

Yes, but I can't make $1,300 a month worth of bills on $8.00 an hour.

[Joe Biden 2020]

In case you haven't read facebook in the past 5 minutes or less - I HAVE A JOB!!!!  The company is actually called Ameriplan, not Ameripride.  It is a work-from-home job, but I have local offices to go to when i need it.  The headquarters is located in Plano, Texas, but has operations in all 50 states.  I will basically be doing marketing.  The company promotes benefits packages that no employer will ever give, such as dental insurance with no annual cap, also vision, medical, great prescription benefits covering up to 85% on some meds.  Also included is ID theft protection, 24/7 credit monitoring, automobile maintenance discounted, as well as numerous discounts at a lot of retailers and restaurants.  The benefits are effective immediately, there is no waiting period.  For an entire household, the whole schebang runs $50.00 a month.  There is also a live nurse on call 24/7/365 to help curb some late night trips to the ER.  There is a base salary of $600 per week plus what I make from the sales, and I will have meetings to go to about 2 or 3 evenings a month here in Oklahoma City.  I get the same benefits that I market.  On the days that I do have meetings, i will work 7:30-2:30, normally it is 7:30-4:30.  I also have free conference calls at 8:00 each morning just to give encouragement to and get encouragement from my peers and supervisors.  I don't have to do any prospecting or cold calling.  I will generate leads through a variety of sources, including, but not limited to the newspaper, craigslist, etc.  They will, in turn, call me and I will always have the support of my boss  There are no chargebacks, no monthly quotas, no persistency requirements.  They have an A rating with the BBB.

I am very pleased and very excited.  I will get started on Friday, July 30, 2010

[Joe Biden 2020]

The good news is - I already have benefits.  There is no waiting period for this stuff.

I have a conference call at 8:00 tomorrow morning, followed by some online training, but my first day of actual work will be this Friday, July 30, 2010.

[Joe Biden 2020]

If the term "multi level marketing" is involved, I hate to say this, but that's a code word for a pyramid scheme. Not nearly as much of a scam as the last one, but make sure they don't charge you for any training materials or anything of the sort and that there is indeed a guaranteed base salary regardless of any sales you may or may not make.

Many people have lost their family and friends over MLMs. Be wary.

This is no MLM, and there is a base salary of $600 per week.

Think of it as a base + commission instead of MLM.

I didn't have to pay a dime to get started.

Jesse, I will indeed hold them to it.

[Joe Biden 2020]

So long as that base is guaranteed even if you don't make a single sale, it sounds ok then--make sure there's nothing in the fine print about having to hit any sort of sales quotas. I'm not saying they don't have a right to expect you to be successful at what you do, but these types of jobs can be very stressful and you will likely be under constant pressure to sell, sell, sell.

Also try to check into whether they do things like dock your pay for customers leaving the program or the like, that's another way these places will sometimes get you. Or at the very least take it out of future commissions.

Budget based on the assumption that you will make zero commission and then any you do earn is gravy.

From everything I've read about it online, I'd be very nervous about this. But good luck, my friend.

There are no chargebacks, no monthly quotas, and no persistency requirement.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Oh, and the wedding plans will NOT be postponed, at least for now!!!!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Meeker,

Your articles gave me a lot of confidence in this company.  I am going to do my best to make this work, because my fiancee' depends on it.

Also, I'm not going to say anything of the benefits of my company initially, all I will do is point them to my website.  Then, if they want to know more, I will point them to my supervisor and if not, that's fine, too.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I don't think he read them... Sounds like a pryamid to me..

Bushie says guaranteed no MLM and no chargebacks.......that's not what the last link says.  I mean what kind of sh**tty research is he doing?  I remember hearing how he researched and left no stone unturned for the ON company......ha.   When you're blind, you don't see what's right there.  He owes Meeker, big time.  Each of the links tells the real tale - scam.

They had the words NO CHARGEBACKS written in big letters on their presentation.  They also had NO MONTHLY QUOTAS and NO PERSISTENCY REQUIREMENTS.  Now, the last article did mention that if the customer backs out you would not receive income from him anymore, which is true.  A chargeback means you would have to pay back ALL the premiums he paid, which is not the case.

Anyhew, I've got another interview this morning at 11:15, so I'm going to see what it's all about and then weigh apples to apples.

[Joe Biden 2020]

At least i've got something.  It may not be everybody's version of a "good" job, but it could at least pay the bills for me.

Now, if this interview here at 11:15 comes up with something better, then I'll compare apples to apples and decide which one I want.  I am encouraged, though, that no matter what happens I will be working by the end of the week.

[Joe Biden 2020]

This other interview didn't turn out so well.  I'm not going to even do it.  My mother and dad are optimistic about Ameriplan and they know I can do it.  They just want me to have a job, and have a job now, and this is not the worst thing in the world.  This job can pay pretty well, if I am willing to put in the work required, which I am, and Mom and Dad know that.  See, I need something that will help cover $3,000 in medication.  This company will allow me to do that, or at least get it down to a more manageable $1,000-$2,000.

This other job would have required be to be away from home from early Monday morning clear through to midnight Friday morning sleeping in hotels away fro m my fiancee'.  It would be very hard to plan a wedding being gone 3 nights a week and would be even harder being gone 3 nights a week when trying to nurture a brand new marriage.

At least with Ameriplan, it will still be hard initially to plan the wedding, but I have 8 months to save up and grow my business and the marriage would be off to a more financially stable foot, since the presentation he gave me yesterday absolutely said NO chargebacks.

[Joe Biden 2020]

What would you guys think of this scenario?  Take this other job, Platinum Services, that travels around the state of Oklahoma Monday-Thursday and then work this Ameriplan on weekends when I'm home.  The Platinum Services guy told me yesterday in the interview that I would get a $3,000 a month guarantee IN WRITING when I sign the contract.  It is a $3000 or commission meaning if my commssion is less than $3000 a month then I would be cut a check for the difference.  If my commission is more than $3000, then I would just get the commission, not the base.  It is a safety net.  I would be home by midnight Friday morning and I could still work Ameriplan on weekends and get a little residual income that way.  This is a scenario where I can do both.  He said that he rarely has to make up the difference and that I would basically need 10 sales a month to reach that, which is not hard to do considering I am on the road Monday-Thursday.  There is no follow up, there is no overhead.  This way, also, there is a safety net just in case Ameriplan busts wide open, I've got another income coming in.  While I am getting licensed with Platinum Services in the couple weeks, I could work Ameriplan part-time and still get some money that way, as well, and then when I'm home on Friday's, work 3 hours for Ameriplan.

File for unemployment (ONG probaby won't challenge it) then get a real job at a brick and mortar company.

Wow, I'm glad you posted that link.  That tells me what I need to know.  Then, forget that scenario, and i'll just go with Ameriplan.  At least I know it's legit.  My parents were even encouraged by it yesterday when they were at my house and my supervisor actually called me.  It tells them that I actually can talk to someone.  Tonight, they will get to hear his voice.  Most of you don’t know this, but I have actually worked for an MLM before.  It was with Primerica Life Insurance back in 2005-2006.  With them, it cost me $200 to get started plus $48 for the life insurance exam (which I had to take 7 times before passing), so that’s a total of $336 for the exam plus $200 for the initial fee = $556.00, which I never made up.  I got suckered into that by my youth minister of all people as he got suckered into it.  I did learn a lot of valuable financial tools, but it sure was hard.  Selling that stuff was the hardest thing in the world to do.  At least with Ameriplan, I don’t have to become licensed and I can use the same stuff I sell (benefits packages).  The benefits come out of my paycheck, and I have my own website.  This stuff should be a lot easier to sell, because it’s stuff people can actually use without having to jump through a lot of hoops such as blood tests or stuff.  If they want it, great, they can purchase it and start using it immediately, and for a lot less.  The most comprehensive package we sell costs just $50 a month.  Sell a few of those and I’ve already got a nice residual income each month.  One of my former co-workers said she used to do Ameriplan and she said if you work hard, you can do it and make good money.  It does take hard work, though, you can’t slack off, but it is definitely possible.  If I slack off, then you’re right, I won’t make a dime, but if I work as hard as I can, I can make it with this.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Quite frankly, I'm surprised Bushie hasn't deleted this thread yet.  It's what I would do if I were the OP.

(Not that I'm touching this: if he wants to reveal a sh**t-ton of personal information of himself and follow up by making himself look incredibly gullible, that's his business.)

You know, I have been tempted to at least lock it.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Why would you delete/lock it? This thread is the reason you're not in prison

I had alarm bells going off with my family as well with that one.  This one, they're easier with.

[Joe Biden 2020]

So the links posted about AmeriPlan didn't sink in, but the last one about Platinum Services did, and they both said the same thing about both companies.  I don't get it.

Because, I have people here at home who used to do it or are still doing it saying it can be done if you just work hard.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I am going to lock this thread and let it sink down to the back pages, because I don't need discouragement when I'm trying to do the best job I can for my family.
