Well as my other job as classroom assistant has come to a close i've decided to apply for a sales and marketing job (the PR stuff you see at big conventions with all the different stands and stuff, not the annoying telesales people before you start throwing stuff at me :D) and i've been called back for an interview tomorrow for the day where i'll be put to the test to see how i do.
Now as i haven't actually had experience of this type of thing before (i got my other job thanks to knowing some people higher up) i was wondering are there any things i should/shouldn't do tomorrow? And not too obvious please some serious advice would be very much appreciated.
Now i just got to search around and find my suit, which i hope still fits me.

Well, apparently a good firm handshake is important.

Good luck!!!
Hehe, you're good. Now I gotta go figure out what I'm gonna wear for the next few hours..!
Don't look at the floor and mumble your answers, for God's sake!

Good tip. Although I can't do that. It's too hard. You don't know which eye to look at!

Yea the one i was with was telling me how this week alone he'd earned around £500. The hours aren't as bad as yours though. I get to leave at 4.30 on saturdays

Yea we aren't allowed to sell to anyone over 65 so i was happy about that. Don't want to be swindling old ladies.

Yea i can understand that but luckily i'm a lanky 6'4 guy so i should be safe and i doubt they'll be sending me anywhere too dangerous anyway.

I agree, the big bucks is tempting, the bloke I was 'shadowing' kept showing me the £550 check he earned from last week alone. However, the hours were 10.30am-8.30pm, 6 days a week.
I also didn't like the way one of the blokes talked an old woman (in her 90s I think) into signing up for Scottish Power when she didn't know what she was doing. I think she just wanted the company :-(

Unlucky DebUK. I'm doing the same thing and i was going to tell them at start i don't want to do that but after hearing about the opportunities available and seeing how easy the deal i'll be trying to flog is to sell, as long as people are prepared to actualy listen, i've decided to take it. I only need it to earn enough money to go to Canada and live there and well earning around £500 if i sell lots is too tempting to turn down.
Well, it looks like I'm back to stage 1 with my job hunting. My 'job' was a pants 'door-to-door' sales-person job (which they didnt tell me until today.)
Therefore, the job was pants (and I didn't get it anyway- why am I so darn unemployable?)

IT depends what you were asked.
IF it's something common like your name or what you just did it wouldn't be hard. It if you're asked to remember something from a while ago, or specific details of an event.
And there's a crease in the forehead for lying too.

I thought it was your nose to watch anyway, something twitches, I'm sure. Can't remember now.
