College is a good Excuse. But what is the Job For?

Because they were misleading in your Job Duties. Some jobs are like that. I once got a job where I seriously thought I was going to have my own desk, making some kind of Advertisment or something. At least working in a mail room. But no. They took me to some Ghetto part of the city, in the middle of the spring... (San Antonio) And gave me a bunch of Pizza Hut coupon books. So I walked around with this guy and tried to sell them from door to door... NO! I quit and went to the next interview. paris in flames Posted at 12:57 am on June 23, 2008 Quote: from Aurelius at 3:56 am on June 23, 2008 WHY would you turn down a job if you took the trouble to go to an interview?

Kokasion Posted at 12:56 am on June 23, 2008 Is it one of those jobs where you walk around neighborhoods and try to sell Coupons, or Newspaper Subscriptions? If so, it goes like this, "FUCK THAT!" Depends on the Job, what job are you turning down?
