Summer Street Fundraising Jobs

Frank3142

I was just wondering does anybody know anything about all these summer street fundraising jobs being advertised for students? Has anyone here ever done anything like this?
Here is an example of one: http://dublin.gumtree.ie/c-Jobs-part-time-evening-weekend-Summer-Staff-Wanted-W0QQAdIdZ376054733

Thank You!

Crap jobs - I would have thought that was pretty obvious. Its ' Chugging ' and if you read some of the threads on the subject elsewhere on boards you'd see that chuggers are pretty unpopular.
At the end of the day the job involves approaching complete strangers and asking them for money - thats a crap job in my book and it's not made any easier by the tough economic conditions people find themselves in.

If it's commission based, it's not a good idea.
Friend of mine did it and quit as he was making no money.

If it's an hourly waged job, then go for it although it can get pretty disheartening.

Even if waged as opposed to commission you can be sure there will be targets to hit and hit quickly - fail to make those targets and unlikely you'd last even a week before you got the boot.

Soul destroying ' job '. One day of it and you'll probably have enough of it.
