This is basically regarding a job offer I received from Full Circle http://www.fciweb.net/ sounds like a scam to me, and I believe they are somehow affiliated with Smart Circle. I went to the first interview, no longer than 5 minutes, was called back for a second one, went out into “the field” and saw what I would be doing. I would be selling DirectTV for 100% commission for a good 10-12 hour day. It was somewhat enjoyable considering my interview only lasted an hour and a half, but since I’ve never done sales and I’m right out of college I was skeptical that they would hire me. I was taken back to the office after being told the entire day that they were only looking to fill 3 or 4 spots out of 200 or more applicants and that I should show a lot of enthusiasm towards the position because there were so many applicants and all that jazz. They made it sound like being selected for a second interview was a rather huge deal. I walked into the office, immediately the “manager” shook my hand and said welcome aboard. Sounds like **** to me. I “start” tomorrow, I begin a 10 hour day of walking around Best Buy and trying to get people to sign up for DirectTV, I’ll probably talk to 300 or more people and get less than 4 to actually sign, according to my “trainer”. I was told it was a 4 to 6 month process into management, however with only some college and a degree goal that’s completely irrelevant to Marketing and no experience in sales and they still hired me on the spot practically, I was clearly lied to at some point. Do you know anything about these companies, If this job is bull please share your opinions so I don’t waste my time.
I need advice on how to avoid these scams. I’m barley about to graduate and I’m already being faced with these scams all over the internet, what is real and what isn’t?
Full Circle (I can’t find much on this company at all, its located in Atlanta)
Smart Circle International (Parent company probably)

I have a lot of epic dreams but this one stood out more than most because it was so realistic. I could even make out every single hair on a character’s head in the dream. It was also very odd and seemed to apply to my life but i cannot figure it all out. So here is what happened:
I’m walking though a big city, there are many people walking all around me. These people are all wearing suits, and gray and emotionless. I seem to be the only thing in color in the whole city. I am compelled to find my way back to this heaven-like place, where I feel as if i had been to in a previous dream. I am so compelled to go back to this place I feel as if I would do anything to go back, and escape this gray city.Then a voice in my head tells me to find this special tree. I am distressed because there are no trees in this city, but then I look to the side and there is suddenly colorful, not gray garden, which is surrounded by these big cream colored walls blocking it out from the rest of the city. I walk into the garden and find the tree. I climb the tree and the voice tells me to close my eyes and say some word three times. I do it and I suddenly appear in a dark room, that seemed to be carved out of a mountain. The room is full of people that all have huge guns and seem to be part of a black market. I am with a group of my friends that I had met previously before in the heaven-like place. We start speaking this language that I have never heard, but seem to know, to try and coax our way out of this place without being killed. We barley make it out of the cavern, and suddenly appear in the heaven-like place. I know this place, and its whole being fills me with joy. It is a grassy green field. The sun is sparkling and the whole place is shining. Where the field ends there is a sparkling ocean, and behind the field are some mountains. In the middle of the field is a house, but the house is a giant teapot with a wooden door. Gravity is light in this place and you could easily jump 6 feet high with ease. My friends and I start jumping and having fun, but i feel as if i am the slowest and the weakest (much like real life) and I cannot run and jump as fast or as well as the others. One of my friends is amazingly gorgeous and can jump the highest and run the fastest. I envy her and suddenly I feel as if i can barley run anymore, which distresses me almost to a point of insanity. But, then my friends interrupt my failed attempts at running and jumping. They tell me of their plans. My friends and I are apparently some organization created to protect this dragon creature from these authorities that are set on destroying it. The teapot house is our secret head quarters and we hid the dragon in a cavern to the side of the field. I am told that the field is to never be discovered or else this important dragon will be killed. I then agree to help protect the dragon and keep their secrets. I suddenly spot a castle to the corner of the field and run towards it. I walk into the castle and there is a party going on. I am suddenly told that I am the princess of the castle. I feel very important, and proceed to explore my new castle. I walk into a dark office-like hallway. I open one of the doors on the side, and there is a very tall girl with blonde and brunette hair. This girl immediately strikes me as odd and not quite mentally sane, so I am very mean to her for no reason and shut the door. I feel as if I CAN be mean to her because I am the princess and I can do what ever I want. I open the next door in the hallway, and the same girl is in that room also. All she does is stare at me from the dark room. I open another door and she is in that room also. I open every door in the hallway, only to find the same girl just standing there. I now know I cannot escape this hallway without apologizing to this girl. I open one of the doors and apologize. I talk to her for a little while and leave. When I leave the castle I feel remorseful that I was so selfish and mean to this girl. I return back to the teapot house, only to find the dragon creature dead. I was supposed to protect it but instead I had gone to the castle. I feel horrible that I that had gotten so distracted by the castle, that I killed the poor creature.
After I find the dragon dead, I wake up. Any ideas what it could mean??
