After college I was looking for a career and was applying to several places. I came across Vector(don't remember how) and sent them a resume and automatically got a call the same day. I didn't research the company at all but was told it was a marketing job and since my interview was that day I didn't know what to expect.

I showed up and there were 5-6 others there awaiting an interview. I was by far the oldest (23 at the time) and best dressed. Long story short the interview lasted about 30 seconds. I told them I didn't realize this was a sales job because the ad said marketing. I was told that I was overqualified and probably would not fit in to their team. I was shocked, not because I wanted the job but because they obviously wanted younger, impressionable people.

I now realize after reading several posts why they target the young. They knew I wouldn't jump through their hoops to sell their overpriced crap knives. I wonder if the reason they only sell knives is because most people do not know much about knives, well I don't but I do know that I moved into my house a few years ago and bought a knife set at sams club for about 30 bucks. They have worked just fine.
