After reading this you gave me insight to what i already felt about the job (telemarketing) that i quit after 2 weeks. I couldnt handle it! I couldnt handle calling people during their most personal time. Calling elderly in their retirement villages that cant breath properly, and one lady being annoyed at me because i made her get out of the shower and she is freezing because she is stuck talking to me trying to sell her an expensive home improvement product. I simply do not like to sell people things while they are still in their houses. I would rather they call me or entice them with old fashioned advertising. For goodness sake - i just could not do a job that is unethical and lacking in morals as telemarketing. It truly is unethical. It is as intrusive as a burgular breaking into your home, turning on your bedroom light, waking you up and saying \'Hello, are you Mr Jones? We are australia\'s most largest security company and we are currently in your area offering a free security house inspection and as you can see you clearly fail the inspection so we suggest you buy our security system for 10,000!

Its kinda crazy how I never had proper training and they didnt even give me a week to learn. The owner said I sounded great but they couldnt understand what the problem was. Me either. Maybe my voice was too squeeky. Oh well, Im kinda relieved now b/c I hated it anyway. Why must I call strangers out-the-blue and force them to buy something they didnt ask for? And for $8 an hr? uh no...... I just got hired at a telemarketing firm 4 days ago and just today (my fourth day) they fired me b/c I only made the quota once.
