I applied for a position as an Event Planner at a local cemetary…planning the services, luncheons etc. Part of the responsibility is Sales, (liners, caskets, budgeting for luncheon etc…) I looked online at sales and at Event Planner salaries, but drastic differences. When should I ask what the pay is?

Anybody else get phone calls from insurance agencies after posting on Monster.com?

My resume lists sales experience, and I keep getting calls from people wanting me to sell insurance. They always try to hide it, and grill me with interview questions, and setting up interviews without telling me what their company does. When I finally ask them they use ambiguous terms to mask the job responsibilites. Anyone else experience this with Monster?
