Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[King]

With a new job, I can't take off real soon so there would be nothing to date of which to countdown. 

This already escalated from an in-between jobs income to something that you aren't willing to walk away from for a free vacation.

RIP CAD(D).

With a new job, I can't take off real soon

Define soon. And has that stopped you in the past with actual jobs that had meaning to you.

Headache onset in t-5 days.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Bushie, just try to make some friends at this job instead of counting down to the next time you tag along to Albuqueque.

What kind of friends can you really meet at a scam job?

People equally as gullible and unemployable.

[Panda Express]

So uh, when does this new "job" start?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I know I said I would turn down the sales job from this morning, but I did not.  Here's why.  There is no end in sight to the CAD job search.  I need income.  I need a filler job until I find a CAD job.

You're going to make literally $0 at this sales job.

1. The job has a base salary

And supposedly so has every other sales job Bushie has had in the past.

2. Don't tell Bushie that he's completely hopeless, that's not going to help him. By all means criticize him and tell him how he can improve, but telling them that he's going to fail no matter what isn't helpful.

Bushie has as much chance of being succesful at a sales job as I do of performing a succesful heart surgery. Saying that is not a swipe at me or Bushie. Just a fact.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

In other news, I just got home from the interview.  Can you say BUST?  She said she would let me know within a MONTH...  Yeah, I'm not holding out hope for that one.

That's a better sign than hiring you immediately. It likely means it's a Legit job with a Legit company and they're taking their time to find the best applicant because hiring for a Legit Job is a monumental decision.

The writers are setting it up so he gets this job, but declines it because he had already accepted a FAST CASH NOW job in the meantime.

So odds on this actually happening now?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Sales are worse than call centers for me. 

But WalMart and other retail is beneath you so much that you'd take a job that's worse than call centers?

...

[King]

Bushie, you're getting denied CAD(D) jobs because of your obesity and poor interviewing with Tourette's. What makes you think a legitimate sales job--where attractiveness and charisma are paramount--would take a look at you and say yes?

To me, the "$30,000 guaranteed base salary" is actually a sign it's a scam. Maybe JMann can enlighten us differently, but IMO a company that really had something to sell wouldn't feel the need to make those kind of promises to lure in bodies. That's a sign for suckers.

I remember the summer after college I looked into a job as a salesman at a Toyota dealership and the pitch was somber. They guaranteed minimum wage for hours worked, but I would have to show signs of promise every pay period to be maintained at that without sales and then they detailed what my sales would have to be to make X kind of living. They weren't delivering a grandiose pitch eager to sign up schmucks. They were looking for people who were eager to sign up despite what they told them, people who willing to to do hard work for a legitimate product.

I'd bet other than the name there's not much if any difference.  RIP

Have you shared the company name with Smash and JMann are you going in this one blind with no research?

Nope, I haven't seen anything on this. 

Bushie is the $30,000 a salary??  A draw?  Does the $30k base even exist?  What kind of sales?

The $30,000 is a base salary.  I will be selling credit card machines to small and medium sized businesses in the Tulsa metro.

Are you selling the machines or the processing service behind the machines?

No one legitimately would guarantee a $30,000 base salary for such crap. That's more like the base for a B2B Pharmaceutical representative. You're getting conned, again.

Seriously, Bushie, ask yourself: CAD(D) employers are discriminating against you based on your appearance. Why on Earth would a sales rep recruiter think you have what it takes?

You're going to make $0 at this worthless "job."

Bushie, this really seems like a scam.

[Lief 🗽]

Do you guys think a family meeting is in the offing? So Mama and Papa Bushie can bless Bushie's decision to go into sales?

I hope Papa re-institutes the childhood corporal punishment that Bushie supports upon hearing this news.

I'm hearing all of what you are saying... and I'm letting it go out the other ear.  I don't need negativity and I am not going to listen to negativity.  King is being purely negative.  He probably doesn't even want me to succeed here.  He wants to say "I told you so".  He thinks he absolutely knows what's going to happen in the future.  He thinks I don't know anything.

What kind of machines are they? Are they actually something innovative people would buy in the year 2015 like this?



Or are you looking for suckers to buy this?

You're right. I don't want you to succeed there because I want you to have money in your bank account.

Seriously, who gives two craps if you succeed at selling credit card machines? Literally nobody will care if you succeed at this. Not your parents, not you. It's completely worthless waste of time.
