Description
In a period of my life that I am applying for a lot of jobs, I received an email from a seemingly automated system that The 1 Events Venice had reviewed my application and wanted me to schedule an interview on monday. I didn't remember applying for a role with them, but i was applying broadly and figured I may have just forgotten the specific role. So I scheduled an interview and asked if they could send me the original job posting. They never responded. When I had the interview, it was with multiple other candidates and one person from "The One" who spoke quickly and frantically and explained it was an interview for a "brand ambassador role" and that they're a "marketing firm" but you can't find any of their clients. I would never have applied for a brand ambassador role, so I'm certain they practice web scraping and prey on people who are applying to jobs and I'm not sure how they obtain people's emails and send them a fraudulent email about a fake application. The interview was 7 minutes long, extremely vague and then I received a "second interview" to which I responded that I would like to withdraw my app and not be contacted. I think they are an MLM that's contacting people in a way that violates our privacy and misleading people.
