Telemarketers

6/25/2010

We get telemarketers calling our office constantly. I have to politely tell them that we are not interested. I know what it is like to work and be rejected.

Yes, I worked as a telemarketer for 28 days when I was a Sophomore in college. And, yes, if I would have waited another 2 days I would have received a $100 bonus. But quiting was more important as I had found another job.

So, I know what it is like to work and be rejected. I try to at least let them know I listened to what they had to say.

But after five minutes I politely say that I have to go. And that usually ends the call.
