    here's the thing.

    you do not employ account managers or purchasing managers in multiples of 8.

    You are going to get a day of knocking on doors or something like chugging, and after it you will have earned nothing, you will feel cheap and nasty, and your feet will hurt.

    Or, you could use your time looking for a proper job.

    New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.
  • I agree with Emmzi, my ex went to one of these things, basically one of these hard sell companies that go into grannys houses and bully them into buying over priced stuff. He was promised a company car etc etc then when he went for the induction he was told there was a problem with the leases on the cars and it would be a few weeks before he would get one etc etc, we aint silly, we know a blagger when we see one.
    He never went back.

    At the end of the induction we went away with literature and told to come in monday at 9am to ... provide id for crb checks.

    ... i am prepared to go in monday morning and have this meeting to find out what job i would be given (either accounts executive or procurement/purchase manager.

    I don't see how the two bits I've highlighted are connected. Will you be working in a school/youth club/something similar?
