sakage.shinga Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi guys, I've been hunting for jobs lately and was wondering if anyone has heard of or worked for a marketing/PR company called Apex Canada (www.apexcanada.ca). I'm interested in finding out more about what their work day is like and compensation before I apply, but their ad is a bit vague on details and just says "events manager/marketing, no door-to-door" Thanks!

Mr. Ambien Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 You realize the internet is at your disposal right? A quick search reveals company info, a company Facebook page... About compensation, you need to contact them directly.. generally asking questions like that is the point of an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just used to the ads being more succint and specific about job descriptions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just used to the ads being more succint and specific about job descriptions... Most don't actually disclose pay because, just like the employee wants the most (pay) for the least (work), the employer wants (of the employee) the most (work) for the least (pay). So during the interview is usually where you see what their ballpark is, and how the company fits with you, they see how you fit with them, and if your price is worth it to them. It is good though to research the position you're looking for throughout the market. If you get enough prices, and compare with the job details (one example being education/experience requisites), it helps you get a rough estimate of what price range you should be looking at. Generally a good hiring manager will already have done his research before interviewing people (*ahem*), which is why for many employers, you have to really sell yourself to justify a higher price range. One thing small companies with a Facebook profile tells me is they wish their company to be closely-knit, so in some cases they may not simply look at job qualifications, they may see where you personally fit into their work "culture".

These types of deals are brutal, you're better off getting a job in a supermarket or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Entertaining discussion about APEX: http://www.indeed.com/forum/cmp/Apex-Merchant-Group/Sounds-too-good-true/t77677 Apparently they're not just a problem in Canada. To their credit, they do have legit jobs throughout BC. This is why it's best to meet face to face, get any promises in writing and make sure it matches up to what you applied for. Our information could in fact be wrong. Apex and Canada aren't exactly original brand words, so it's possible for scammers to get away with using those.

I'm generally not a cynic that presumes everyone is out to scam me -- common sense when dealing with people is presumed to be a given. Not sure what to make out of your post though, other than you have an ability to make a passive aggressive post (in pixels no less) that doesn't provide any contribution to the discussion.
