All transportation and expenses paid. Jobs for young people. Advertisements which offer good pay, travel with all expenses paid and free training, but which do not explain the job in question are often solicitations directed toward young people. The advertisements do not usually give the name of the company or the nature of the work, but hint at exciting travel. In most cases, only a local phone number and the name of the recruiter is listed.
Recruiters usually conduct interviews in hotels or motels.
There are promises of large earnings and travel to big cities and resorts. The young people are asked to leave to join a team of employees within a few hours or the next day. At this point, few details about the work have been explained. The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, prompted by allegations of mistreatment of young people, conducted hearings on the subject of traveling sales crews in April 1987. Many former sales agents were interviewed.
