So its lke 8:30 am and I'm not at my old job. Hizzah! oh wait I'm not making any money.... At least I have my university job, whch I'll be going to later. By the way would you like to take a survey?
Now that I reflect upon my job situation its nothing to be worried about. I wasn't fired from my previous job; (the one preceeding the most recent one) you see I was a telemarketer. I sold credit card insurance to people over the phone. Believe me that was difficult. But I wasn't a good telemarketer even though they had me on the best program. I could only eek out maybe one sale a week or every other week, which is bad but its better than no sales.
So they liked me I was a nice enough guy. I showed up to all my hours, I did everything correctly, but I was too nice. Not that I didn't try but my voice, my intonation, the way I spoke conveyed "hey this guy sounds nice" which is bad when you are a telemarketer because no one buys from the nice guy. So they didn't fire me but they did the next best thing.....
They moved me to another program and docked my pay 3 dollars an hour.
So i'm getting ready to go into my university job, which consists of calling people (telesurveying.) Good thing is they dont require I get a certain number of completed surveys.
