Gee..guess who was the odd man out!!!!
Allright, so I didn't get the job....and I"m sorta glad I didn't. It turned into be ing a door-to-door sales man to businesses, as in just walking in and hitting them with a shtick to try and get them to buy crap for the their office, in essence a walking telemarketer. If I were to get the job, my "salary" would have been all commission...15%-25% of what I sold (varied for a few reasons I don't feel like adding or care to). And from my observarion today, it would have only be barely anything (the few people who actually bought something today was like $40-100/pop). And this is after walking around in circles to different places to either get blown off or lied to. This doesn't count the fact I had to pay for the bus/train and my lunch on this trip. The funniest part is that one of the people that I was observing (and the one to determine if I would get the job) looked like a woman I shortly was seeing in college (not a good thing, she was cute but crazy with an "Cutting-edge" fetish...and this woman I was put with today looked damn near identical) . After getting back to their offices and finding that I felt dirty around these salesmen/saleswoman I was pulled to the side and told that they had 2 openings, and they were going with 2 others due to the fact that they couls start Monday, and I said I couldn't. I was a little sad, but sorta glad since I wasn't feeling the job. But I did look damn good in my suit again!!!
Now I can hopefully get an interview with an ambulatory service here in Queens for a medical billing job. They emailed me last night abot setting up an interview, but I couldn't call them today, but sent an email to them but as of now didn't get a response...have to call them tomorrow.
Seeing the weather is going to be really sucky this weekend, I have nothing planned now. Hopefully I can find someone else who also has nothing to do this weekend to hang out with....
