Hello? HELLO??

We had our telemarketer test today. The scenario is this: you call a high school senior, recent graduate or college student. You use time-tested telemarketer techniques to bully him or her into a meeting at your office or their house. The idea is to sell the meeting, not enlist them into the Army....yet.

The testing was a joke. The student sits in a chair with a video camera taping the interview. The person testing you is off camera, acting as the recruit. You have to jump through the hoops. There is actually a format for this. What we found out is that it doesn't matter how effed up you are, you passed anyway. We had some real heroes going through this today. Not anywhere near ready for the test. It was painful to watch some of these guys do the call. Kind of like watching a car accident happening in front of you. You are powerless to help. You find your hands sweating, and you realize you are making a cringing face. I had to get up and leave. Simply too painful to watch.

Now, we are going through the multi media exercise. We use a computer sales pitch to steal young peoples souls.

Never knew being an agent of Satan could be so rewarding.
