Sounds like chugging to me.

Seriously doubt it. That website would have looked dated in 1998. The english on it is that of a non english speaker eg very welcome

What job are you going to interview for? if it's marketing - Sorry to hear.
Website doesn't look dodgy, it more looks like... un-professional?

The domain is registered to the Hanly centre.
Chugging.

Whats chugging?

Charity mugging.

You - walking along the street minding your own business.
Chugger - in an unnervingly friendly manner - Hello mate/love, can i talk to you for a minute?

Object of game to sign you up for donations, one off or ongoing.

smurphy69

Becoming one of those parasites that stops people on the streets, tells you how important their charity is, gets your bank details and pockets a nice bit of commission for how ever much you donate to this charity every month.

Chugging is a portmanteau of 'charity' and 'mugging'. You see those fellas on the street with either bibs and/or ID badges stating the charity they work for? The really annoying ones that literally leap out at you on the street and try to get you to sign DD's to give the charity money on a regular basis??

Play your cards right boy, and you too could be one of those people!

Are they based in Limerick? I've heard of em but vaguely remember what for. Think their fairly on the level though.

nigel911

what you mean on the level? some kind of marketing and sales company that was advertised on jobs.ie! read a few forums from a couple years back and apparently there dodgy so dont know if i should go for the interview? their website is terrible

Give em a ring in the morning and find out some of their clients n ring them to get testimonials. If they're offering a job it might be worth the half hour out of your day to do a bit of research???

yeah read about them they advertise these great jobs on jobs.ie, but all anyone ends up doing is door to door selling. best to avoid it. think ill give tomorows interview a miss

ROAR??? Run, run away now! unless you want to be a door-to-door commission only self employed person, who needs to work in excess of 55 hours a week to manage the same salary as a 38 hr minimum wage job. BIG LONG thread on here already about ROAR and their other incarnations. Do a search.

Don't bother ringing them - you will not get a straight answer.

Smurphy,
My sister did summer work a few years ago. Money was great. But yes you would be one of those people stopping you on the street.
