How do you know when a job is a scam?

So basic.

Well, speaking and writing proper English might be one of the first steps.

The best paying gigs in the world are straight-commission sales jobs. But you have to be selling a legitimate product or service for an established company with certain basic industry-accepted protocols: like training salary before going straight commission, perks like a 401K & company vehicle, an office of administrative & support staff, etc. If you want to go that route (& have no experience), come at it sideways - take a salaried position & learn the product & marketplace (study everything you can & become a resident expert)- then nag your way into a sales job.

I did exactly that in a great paying sales job for an HVAC company. Started out running CNC equipment in their sheet metal shop & moved into sales. Their sales guys were pulling in huge 6-figure incomes & making that move became a no-brainer. Find yourself a way in like that if you want to go for big $$$ in sales. I was there for several years & loved it.

*note* I did a write-up on warning signs about scams in a 1st paragraph for that previous post but something was a banned word or phrase so I had to nix it. But in summary, most scams are sales jobs. Find a real one if you want big bucks (like I just described).

They are doing it for the money you will send them or to steal your bank account information, not for any other reason.
