[UPDATE]
I just asked straight-up after listening to his marketing talk for almost 10 years.
Me: Will this involve cold-calling?
This guy took literally about 7 mins to answer that question. Fumbling for fancy descriptions and boasting their 'extensive training and screening process' He finally said:
Yes jEct2, this position...uh.. requires "value-adding sales base skills" by cold-calling.. (DING DING DING) You really need the right kind of tenacity and self-starter mindset, blah blah, blah blah blah...
I thanked him for his interest and told him that I basically suck at cold-calling. (Instead of being an ahole by telling him this positions sucks donkey balls.)
*sigh* job search is so hard... :beer: to all graduating college seniors..
