This must be..karma

Lady: "May I speak to XXX pls?"

Me: "Yes, speaking."

Lady: "I am calling from XX insurance. Our HR manager has gone thru your resume posted online and you have been shortlisted to join us as a financial consultant. Would you be be free to come down for an interview this afternoon?"

Me: "Erm, no. I'm not cut out for sales. Thanks for your offer though."

Lady: "Oh, its alright. We have training provided...and..."

Me: "No, its okay, really. I've tried it out b4 and its really not for me."

Argh, another recruitment gimmick by insurance agencies. I know all abt the tricks up their sleeves since I used to work in one. And ironically, I used to be one of those who call up unsuspecting innocents down for interviews. Haha yes, this must be karma. The similar 'pick up' lines.."training provided" etc.. haha I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. And how would I be able to make it this afternoon when it was already 2+ pm?!

Initially, my heart had skipped a beat as I answered the call, thinking it might be the Ikea job i applied for recently. Alas, it was a false alarm. One thing for sure is, I will not be getting into anything involving sales anytime soon. The experience last yr left me with less than pleasant memories but it certainly opened my eyes.. to the real world out there. *shudders*

My internship shall end in late Oct. Sure hope I find sth good soon.. sth related to my studies yet interesting. I'm crossing my fingers over the Ikea one. Let's pray hard!
