Hi NAME! I'm looking to fill some flexible work positions. We love working with SCHOOL students and alum & your profile looked impressive. We have super flexible schedules with a $22 starting base pay.

I’m not sure what your work situation is, but are you interested in more info?

IF YOU CONNECTED, BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO YOUR INVITATION MESSAGE

Great to connect with you! Did you see my last message? My office has a work program for current and recent students - we offer immediate flexible work around school and other jobs. What’s pretty cool is that we were just ranked by USA Today as the #12 best company to work for. There’s a lot of room for growth with us, since opportunities for internships are available as well as career positions after college. The work is flexible, and we offer a starting base pay rate of $22.00. We are looking to build the team with people who are hard working and positive! I know not everyone checks their LinkedIn messages often, but our website is www.StudentWorkJersey.com :) You can request an interview there in less than a minute, are there any questions I could answer for you?

FOLLOW UP IF STILL NO REPLY AFTER 48 HOURS

Hey, just following up to see if you saw my message?

APPLIED / RECEIVED NUMBER, BUT DIDN'T SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW

Hey! I was looking and saw you had not yet requested an interview so I wanted to reach out and see if you had any questions I may be able to answer?

“Where are you guys located?”

We have over 300 offices nationwide. However, our division headquarters is in Livingston, NJ. All of our team members have the option to interview virtually, and work remotely (from home or dorm) after they finish training. Did you want me to send you a link so you can get more info and apply?

What are the hours / schedule?

The hours are super flexible and easy to work around other obligations. We work with a lot of students around their classes, so the schedule really depends on the applicant’s schedule. Did you want me to send you a link so that you or your friends can apply?

“I’ll let my friends know” (but they don’t show interest in applying)

Thank you!! Btw what do you have planned for this semester? Idk if you’re a student but all of our students have a chance at different scholarships as well as internship experience to put on their resume.

(Then I send the next message as a back to back message) ~ If you want, you can check out the link too and see if you like it. www.StudentWorkJersey.com

“What’s the company name/product?”

The company is Vector which is the marketing and sales branch for Cutco. We are the local New Jersey branch. We have been around since 1949. It's a bunch of stuff for the kitchen like pots and pans, flatware and kitchen knives. The majority of our customers are moms, dads, and families lol. They love the stuff. We are looking to fill several entry level sales/customer service positions. It is a great opportunity for students to build their resume with real world experience. Did you want me to send you a link so that you or your friends can apply?

What is the pay?

Great question. The starting pay is $22.00 base-appt with the opportunity to earn more based on performance (basically rewarding work ethic). We cover the full details of pay during the interview process though. We cover the full details of pay during the interview process though. Did you want me to send you a link so that you or your friends can apply?

“What’s the scholarship/internship”

The scholarship is based on performance with the company. The internships obviously vary college to college, but our training is college accredited and we have partnerships with most schools. My manager told me more about it in the interview! Did you want me to send you a link so that you or your friends can apply?

“I already have a job.” OR "I'm too busy"

That’s cool. The schedules are really flexible and we have a lot of people that work around school or other jobs. Here’s the link to the application. Check it out if you need more hours at any point this year. www.StudentWorkJersey.com

Not Interested

No problem, let me know if things change or if you know anyone looking for work feel free to let me know. We do also have a social media position available. Our social media marketing assistants help schedule potential applicants for interviews and help us advertise/brand ourselves on social media. It’s $15/hour with paid training and flexible, only about 5-10 hours a week. Here's the link to the application if that position interests you more :) www.StudentWorkJersey.com/receptionist

Is this a scam/pyramid scheme/MLM (if they continue to argue, DON'T respond. Your energy is worth more than that)

USA Today wouldn't award us as the #12 best company to work for in the United States if that were the case. I wouldn't waste your time. There are no start-up costs, recruiting plays no part of our pay-program, and we have a guaranteed pay regardless of sales. In the interview we literally go through the position in full detail and you would be able to get a really good gauge for if it is a good fit for you. The worst case is you spend 30 minutes, find out more about an opportunity and get some interview experience. Don’t let negative untrue things you hear prevent you from learning the right information in the interview.
