Avon jobs

Avon calling! The cosmetics company has launched a recruitment drive to find 1,000’s of new field sales reps across the UK. They were once called Avon Ladies, but that no longer applies as the company says five per cent of the 170,000 reps already working in the UK are men.

Reps are self-employed and can be any age over 18. They work at any level they choose - from those earning £1 for every £5 of products they sell to friends and families in their sparetime to becoming one of the top achievers. Some businesses have a turnover of £2million and these reps are invited to join the President’s Club with its extra incentives and perks such as invitations to gala dinners. For more info call 0845 601 4040 or see www.avon.uk.com
