I did something like that once.Advert in paper, no experience needed, got the job in 5 minutes sort of thing...the one thing I said I wouldn't do was cold selling and they promised it wasn't that. So next day I gets in a minibus with the others and a team leader (to show us how it was done), get dumped on an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere, to go around trudging around in the mud in my nice frock to cold sell discount coupon books to businesses (like, buy a book of coupons for $50 that is supposed to get you $200 worth of stuff).
I was so pissed off, I'm not sure I even lasted an hour. I threw a bit of a diva fit, saying they'd lied to me and wasted my time. I trudged off to a mechanic's (that we'd just tried to flog coupon books to) to ask directions to the nearest train station. Kindly folk took pity on me and gave me a lift.
