LIONHEART responded to my posted resume on CareerBuilder, a website for job postings by employers. Lionheart responded in a carefully worded email that they are seeking qualified professionals for business-to-business sales. LIONHEART NEVER states or implies that YOU would be the business! The cleverly worded proposition reads as if they, LIONHEART, are the business selling to other businesses. That would be a lie. YOU are the business, not an employee of Lionheart, in their "business-to-business" proposal.

My email also stated that I was scheduled for a "face-to-face" interview at their Frisco, Texas office. I thought that odd. What other type of office interview is there? LIONHEART also asked me to bring a copy of my resume in two different emails. Why? They had found me thru CareerBuilder where I have posted my resume. But, I brought my resume, as requested.

Due to traffic conditions, I decided to call LIONHEART Assurance Solutions to inform them that I may be a few minutes late. So, I called Directory Assistance to obtain their number. Not listed. So I looked at the copies I made of their website. No phone number. Another "red flag."

I arrived at a small building in an office park for small and start-up type businesses. The cheap-rent building and offices were another "red flag." Now skeptical, I went inside the small office (maybe 500 sq.ft.??) at 10:28 am, two minutes early for my "face-to-face interview." I met a receptionist, dressed very casual, who asked my name, then asked for my resume, and then began to usher me and another gentlemen into a back room.

She mentioned that the "meeting was already underway." I peeked into a 200(?) sq.ft. room crammed with about 8 people and a speaker. I immediately understood that I had been "scammed" into a situation that was NOT a "face-to-face" job interview but rather a "many faces-to-a speaker sales meeting", one designed to get my money.... I left immediately, reclaiming my resume as I exited the small office.

Why does LIONHEART conduct "interviews" this way? Why don't they fully disclose their intentions? What does this say about their integrity...ethics? Who would want to work with an organization who conducts business this way with the very people they want as their "associates?!" Imagine, then, how a company like this must treat their customers??!

BEWARE.

AUTHOR: BG in VA - (United States of America)

I received an e-mail from Mr. Duff about 20 minutes ago, also stating that he got my resume from CareerBuilder.com, which I've been skeptical of, but that's neither here nor there.

I had just heavily revised my resume this afternoon, so while I thought such a quick response was encouraging, I also found it a bit odd and very sudden. The one other glaring issue: the e-mail talked about business-to-business sales, and that I'm a "potential fit" for such a position. Ironically, I have absolutely ZERO sales experience, and my CareerBuilder profile SHOULD have reflected that I'm well-versed in the mass communications field.

Regardless, I read through the e-mail asking me to come to an interview next Monday, July 26. Having never heard of the company, I did a few Google searches, and found the above letter and another, both talking about how the company is a ripoff.
