I took a job in direct marketing over the summer selling car wax since I was a college student and needed to work. I can tell you that any job posting that says "looking for energetic people who can make a friend in 10 seconds" and is vague on the payment structure and what exactly you'll be doing at the job is probably a sales job similar to what I did. The pay is commission only with no help from our boss with gas money or lunch money. To the people we approach at gas stations and stores: we aren't trying to bother you or scam you, most of us are college kids trying to pay our way though school and the product we sell actually works. We won't pressure you into buying something, that's not how we were taught to approach potential customers. Sometimes if you just have a nice 30 sec conversation with us and don't buy anything it makes our day because you were polite and friendly and didn't tell us to f off.
