Lately I've been on the search of a job to have at least a source of income for myself and help a little in my home, I spent hours looking online for anything that looked good enough (as long it paid what it said on the job application post), eventually I postulated for a call center (the page was flooding with many jobs of the kind), next day I got a message about having the interview next day, after what felt like a eternal day on the university, I drove where the workplace was, when I arrived I was looking for it for several minutes due to it being a bit hidden, when I get in reception, I give my ID and wrote my info in a visit agenda.
When finally I got called, I walked towards a room with other people planning to postulate for the job too, we were getting a powerpoint presentation explaining what the job was about, basically selling phone plans for people through calls, but the more time we spent listening to their propositions and how everything worked, everyone stood up and got out of that room, reason? Well, in the job application post, there was a salary imposed on the post, but then when we got the real salaries, basically it was way less and if you wanted more, you had to work from Monday to Saturday, hell no. If you wanted to reach the post salary, you had to do successful sales several times to earn a considerable amount, and that is if you're lucky to manage to do that.
When I walked out, I was just laughing of how outrageous this situation was, I was desperate for looking a job and getting money, but I have enough self respect to not put me in a job where I had to work more for less money, then I got home and received a message for a job application in a fast food place, gotta be careful when applying for jobs, everyone now wants you to do their shit like you go to work hard just for the fun of it? Come on please, oh well at least I avoided a bullet with this one. :p (sorry for the crappy english tho i wrote all this in a rush)
