I interviewed for a salespersons position in TV. After a lengthy interview.... of course I wasn't accept. Why?
Because I know too much about what is and what isn't a "contract commission agent". I asked too many questions about being compensated regarding giving tours of the new homes......being a 'taxi driver' for those visiting and staying for the life style visits and about other mandatory meetings you are required to attend. In essence.....they are employees and not 'contract agents'.
Do I think any judge is going to go against TV? No. Those agents will lose.....but they may be owed back pay for doing all the 'employee' things they were required to do.
My guess is that you were not hired because of an attitude. They don't usually hire anyone with an attitude or who will use a STRONG selling technique. They don't have to. People are lined up to buy their homes. One of the things that won me over is the fact that the person that showed us houses NEVER called us back. I loved NOT being pressured.
