As for ...That is retarded. High school sports ads?<br /><br />As for VQR, it wasn't John Grisham who got published there, it was John Updike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829472822154103457.post-80167960628468528172009-12-18T22:35:01.827-05:002009-12-18T22:35:01.827-05:00that sucks balls.

Sucks to think that the 22 year old punks who will be drinking there next summer on the decks will never even think about the back breaking labor that it took to build them a new place to get drunk and hit on portsmouth sluts. <br /><br />I am having quite the time looking for jobs....it's an experience. In two months i've been offered (1) job. It was working for Honda in Danvers via Stratham office, at a base salary of $26,000 plus commissions. It was basically following up on internet leads and setting appointments for customers to come in and look at cars. Not too exciting and for that money, I can make the same thing sitting on my couch. <br /><br />Other than that....as of late....i found these two companies. <br />www.nationalpositions.com<br />and www.internationalstudentrelations.org<br /><br />the first is a search engine optimization company...supposedly the best out there...no. 112 on Inc's 500 fastest growing companies. They need a sales rep to work from home on 100% commission and get companies to retain their services. The commissions look really good, but i'm still exploring it. <br /><br />the second company is a sports marketing sort of company. They give high schools and colleges free sports calendars, folders and posters of their sports teams. My job would be to get local businesses to advertise on these products for their particular hometown schools. I would get paid $250/week and commissions on my sales. He was a real fast talker and spoke over me never letting me ask questions. He asked what sports i played in high school, my positions, and how tall I was. Not really sure what that had to do with selling ads. When i asked about car reimbursement the slick salesmen on the other end said "if you need tires or an oil change we barter with places in your area...no big deal." Not really what I wanted to hear. I was hoping for 55 cents per mile. Then he said "i think by your resume you would do well at this job....it just depends if you want it. Why don't you mull it over with your family this weekend and call me on Monday if you want to go to the Superbowl" I'm still trying to figure out what he meant by that one. Opportunity of a lifetime?? I think not.eddienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829472822154103457.post-80118021527741779732009-12-18T21:01:40.780-05:002009-12-18T21:01:40.780-05:00Go from one blog that nobody reads to a literary j...Go from one blog that nobody reads to a literary journal that nobody reads?
