Pimp Your Work - Improving Your Work Day Efficiency

Want to get a job interview? Get paid for it!

by Celine on February 5th, 2008

Word of a new internet service has been spreading the last week.  It’s about NotchUp, a company that pays job candidates hundreds of dollars for an interview.

That’s right - you don’t have the job yet, and you’re already getting paid.  More about it from the official website:

The FAQ also answers some important questions such as:

• Why would a company ever pay to interview someone?
• What prevents fraud or gaming the system?
• What makes NotchUp better than traditional methods?

Among their features is an interview fee calculator that helps you compute your fee based on your industry, years of working experience, educational attainment, current position and other criteria.  My results were for $200, which, I assume, is probably on the lower end.

What are your ideas on this service?  Has anyone tried this yet?  Have you had any success?
