Job Offer (Just not one I wanted)

As the title says, I was offered a job.  Just not one that I really wanted, or was even remotely interested in.  Its amazing how just apply for a position gets you emails from random "employers".  I didn't know that happened.  Amazing how job sites work.

It would essential be working for as a telemarketer.  In other words, everyone with a phone's worst enemy.  Making phone calls to people that have no interest in talking to you, but rather actively hate you or at least seem like it.  But wait there's more!  It would essentially be selling "insurance" to old people.  I can remember an episode of Burn Notice like this, and guess what? It did not end up well for the guy.

It seems weird to me that this type of practice still goes on.  It seems like every month that a story is ran about this on the news with a slightly different spin.  Needless to say I blocked the number that called me, as I read this company keeps calling you.  Taking advantage of the old and the gullible is not my idea of a good job.

Please do comment if you have had any similar experiences.  It seems like people will do anything to make a buck.
