++ Life as a Telemarketer. ++
The title makes me sound like I've been sitting at tables, making repetitive phone calls all my life. But hell no, as of now I've already worked for 3 consecutive days at market research company, Xpressworks. So basically, I'm given a stack of similar survey sheets and I'm suppose to call up offices and residences for their responses, currently we're doing a perception study about the Government's Budget 2011, (and trust me that it is god-damn long, respondents had hanged up my call halfway through the survey and I've to re-do all over again.)
There's a daily quota of 15 completed surveys, which is kind of difficult to hit, I only managed to hit it today. Well, nice try Thommy. After you hit the quota, the company will reward you with additional pay per piece (after the quota), besides the hourly pay of $6. Or either, you could pack your bags and hit the sack early. But AISH, it still sucks.
Anyway..I'll be leaving this repetitive "hell" next week, so it's just a few days left. Hang in there Thommy!
P.S. I really regret not to pester the Starbucks store managers to give me a job there, for a person with tiny-wee bits of hyper-activeness, sitting at one spot is nearly impossible. How I hate office jobs, GOSH.
