So yeah, topic title. I'm a guy and don't know anything about make-up but I was told that I have a good personality and would be a good fit for the company. Best news is I can do it and still keep my day job.

As long as its an actual job and not an MLM... Although that "I can still keep my dayjob" sure makes it sound like an MLM.

Good news is, if you're a decent salesman, all you need is a base understanding of the product to sell. It makes you a shitty professional, obviously, but one that sells stuff.

That's not what this is. This is a legitimate, legal business. Pyramid schemes are illegal, so obviously this business that operates openly isn't that. There's a seminar I've been invited to and I think I'm gonna go.

Well, nice to know you're joking.

Actually this would be an MLM, legally. Functionally, they may as well be the same thing

You sure it's not an MLM like Avon or something, cause you're not gonna make money if it is.

If this company is Rodan and Fields then yes, its a MLM scam.

Going to a "seminar" for a job is almost always some type of scheme. I've been invited to those by poor people trying to use me to get more money thinking they'll get rich. They have to recruit a bunch of people and the person on top is the only one making shit.

Yeah, I guess that was a pyramid scheme

Yep, some jurdistictions ban MLMs just the same as pyramid schemes. In terms of function they're entirely identical.
