1st offWell I got my first job offer today...lucky me right ? not exactly here's how it went:
Context: I just got home from a meeting in St-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu, and i see that there's a message for me asking me to call back a M. Thompson at the insurance company ASAP ! Since this wasn't my insurance company i figured that it was either to sell me something or to offer me a job. So I called ...
DRINGGGGG....
Secretary: Big insurance company, M. Thompson's office....
JP: Yes, I just recieved a message from M.Thompson asking to call him back ? My name is Jean-Pierre...
Secretary: one moment please...
M.Thompson: Hello Jean-Pierre !
JP: Hello sir ?
M.T: I was looking at your resume and I would be very interested in meeting you for a job opportunity with us...
JP: My resume ?
M.T: Yes, you did put online didn't you ?
JP: Oh yes, may I ask in what field exactly ?
M.T: Well I believe that you would be a good sales representative for our company in Trois-Rivieres.
JP: Sales rep ? That's not exactly in my domain, I mean I have a bachelor's degree in communications after all.
M.T: Yes I know, but then everybody who works here isn't exactly in THEIR domain...We're here to help you re-orientate your career choice...how about a meeting ?
JP: (I was buisy flipping pancakes for Judy...) Ummm. yeah sure, when exactly ?
M.T ; This afternoon, at 3pm ?
JP: (burning my pancakes...) Yes yes very well.
M.T: You'll see Jean-Pierre, the insurance buisiness is a very stimulating world. Goodbye.
At noon I called back M. Thompson and left a message telling him:
-I'm sorry M.Thompson i'll have to cancel our meeting, unfortunatly after reflexion I don't believe i'm ready to reorganize my career since I don't have one to start off. Thank you for the offer but i must decline.
I hope I wasn't too rude but becoming an insurance salesman didn't seem right.
