I am just wondering if there are certain jobs that you wouldn't do, no matter how long you were unemployed?

    Work for Ingeus hounding people from benefits into work who are clearly not capable.

    Door to door (cold calling) I did it for a day and a half about seven years ago, that was by far enough for me!

    Oh I'm thinking of applying for a job with Ingeus - think I have the skills they need and would be a fun and varied job.

    For me it is anything that avoids heights or flying or bodily fluids.

    Hmm Or anything full time

    Or anything not term time

    Or anything not flexible



    I could be out of work sometime thinking about it

    In the not capable bracket would you include those who dont have a desire to find a job ?

    For me it would be cold calling whether door to door or via the phone, could even include standing in a shop door way selling breakdown cover or asking people to make charity donations.

    I just can not sell and I would hate trying to influence people by telling porkies, stretching the truth to buy something, Id rather walk out.
