Who here has worked this job before? Selling goods and services, and pretty much annoying some people at homes? Im seriously thinking about joining their ranks, because im in 2 bands and music is important to me, im very busy with it and need a job that has flexible hours with decent pay, which telemarketing has both. Just wondering if anyones got any stories, advice or knowledge I should read before doing this? Ill probably end up doing it anyway, but Id just like to know regardless. |

I was a market research telemarketer; so the same thing except I didn't have to sell anything, just do surveys. |

seems like it'd be a sucky job, cause, everybody would hate you. |

It was the shortest job i have ever had. It lasted 32 minutes. I got tired with it after 5 minutes and kept prank calling the same guy over and over again. All i had to do was hit F5 and it was a redail button. He was the first guy to complain and curse at me so i pestered him for the next 27 minutes until he gave up and i walked out of the job. |

That doesn't really phase you after a while since people aren't really people anymore. You just like automatically deal with them and you've heard it all before so it's no big deal. The worst thing is stupid people. Or old people. Goddamn. |

so what... I dunno.. im not really worried about people hating me for 2 main reasons. 1- i dont care what people think. and 2- they have no idea who iam or what i look like. I just wonder if its worth it? because its so hard to find a job with flexible hours, and I NEED a job with flexible hours, as my band goes out of town quite often and I cant say NO to that. |

It sucks a lot. I went for about a year before getting fired. |
||||||||

|
|
yeah but.... if that sucks too much can you reccomend a job that doesnt such as much that lets me work about 32 hours a week? I cant do full time with being in 2 bands, its just not possible, and until I go back till school after this summer, a job isnt very important, so something part time is what i need. |

I'm a parking garage attendant now |

Really?..... hows that. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah, it wouldn't hurt my feelings either. but, it seems like it'd get real old real quick having people hang up on you, and tell you you suck. especially since you'd kinda have to agree with them, since what you're doing does totally suck. |

|

|
|
expect to be told off plenty... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it could be fun. I dunno..... the getting told off part doesnt bother me all too much, and yeah it would be true, cause they do suck oh well. I got a interview on monday with a sign installing place, for 13.50 an hour to start, so ill see what happens after that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I know some people who work in those types of jobs, and they get paid well... so, if it pays well, take it, and get a few checks out of it if nothing else! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.... im real good at getting a job, hating it for 2 weeks, getting paid nicely, then quitting to only get a better job... hopefully something good comes of it all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Hahaha, Well go for it. You seem like you could handle yourself from some of the abuse they get! I feel sorry for telemarketers sometimes! |

this is the most soul destroying job you will ever find. i did it for 2 weeks, it is really horrific. why on earth do you want to do it? by all means try it, but dont let yourself even think about enjoying it. its shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I doubt id ever enjoy it, people sayin stuff to me does not bother me in the least, if anything i just find it funny. i dunno...... it may happen, but it seems now that ill have this other better job. |
