I interviewed with CJD Consulting in early June of 2013. I received a phone call from a CJD Consulting recruiter a few hours after uploading my resume on a well-known employment website. This call was the initial phone interview, which lasted only a few minutes and mainly consisted of scheduling a time at which I could come in their office for an in-person interview. The in-person interview lasted approximately 30 minutes and was conducted by the office manager. Very few questions were asked (especially compared to other interviews I've done) and he spent nearly the whole time explaining the responsibilities of the job. It is not until this point that anyone from CJD Consulting will acknowledge that this job is strictly door-to-door sales of office supplies. They ask you if you are okay with door-to-door sales. Feeling at the time like I didn't have many options, I decided to come in for a final round interview, which is an all-day job shadow of a CJD "management trainee", also known as a "door-to-door salesman".
I followed some chump around a small town just outside of Indianapolis as he failed to sell printer ink and paper to mom-and-pop stores for 8 hours. Not only that, they have the gall to ask you to wear a suit. This is funny when you understand how incredibly unprofessional the whole company is. After the job-shadow, you do a quick 10-15 closing interview with the office manager. I received an offer a few days later, but declined after seeing how the company works. CJD Consulting is
I could speak at length about everything I don't like about this company. All I can say is: if you need money NOW, get a job as a server in a restaurant and hold off until you can find something better. If you start this job, even if you are good, you won't see a dime for weeks because you have to spend so much of your own money to travel around central Indiana.
The entire interview process is dishonest. They even mention a "salary plus bonus" option that is supposed to sound like it includes guaranteed pay, but after you sift through the details of the commission structure, you realize that if you don't make any sales, you don't make a penny. This company will hire anyone, and they are always interviewing groups of people. Both days I was in the office, there were around 8 different people interviewing.
