Choice of crap jobs...

    Right, so I'm in Sydney at the moment and I'm almost broke. The labouring work seems to have evaporated and I need money soon.
    There's three kinds of job I could probably get fairly easy.
    1. Direct Marketing: You know the type, door to door crap. I did it for one day in Dublin and hated it but I'm desperate.
    2. Telesales: haven't done it before but it would be 9-5 and wouldn't involve walking around housing estates!
    3. Chugging! Street fundraising for charity. Now Sydney hasn't got the same amount as Dublin of these so they're not as hated. it would be 9-5 too.

    What would you go for? It's a poor choice but for someone with little experience it's about all there is.

    Maybe go for the telesales. Be better than having to go door to door.

    Direct Marketing / Sales done both over there and hated it.

    TBH chugging would be my choice - outdoors etc. etc!

    Yeah I'm kind of leaning towards that at the moment. Mind you the weather's a bit brutal here at the moment!

    well if your desperate for a job the more you do a hamlet over it they may be gone when you finally decide what you want to do

    we dont know what kinda person you are or what your likes and dislikes are and anyways when are you gonna try any of these again? just pick one and go for it

    ive dont them all and id rather this chugging as you call it there. telesales really annoys people unless it is new cool product. if its for any of service companys like telephone providers, internet, gas, electricity etc people will have heard it all before. all you will hear is "hit you goal, another sale by lunch" and what not.

    that said you have the advantage of an irish accent and tho it may sound trivial and vain if you not bad looking you could do very well face to face selling or chugging. quick cash is to be made.
