Do You Have a Soul? (IMA International Marketing Association)

That's right folks. Having a soul means having more than just being a live and being on Earth (or the moon and maybe Mars someday). Having a soul means having the ability to tell the truth, be honest, and treat people right.

Having a job means that you will get money. With money, you can buy whatever you want and support yourself. Money is obtained through a ton of ways: Burger King, Wal-Mart, and big CEO positions. As important as it is to not become a person who's eating off the street to survive, it is also important to keep your soul. With money and a soul, a person could actually become wealthy and not end up like Donald Trump or the owner of the Playboy mansion. Whatever that person did to get far, they can honestly look back on their life in a few years and be happy about themselves.

Now dishonesty and bad jobs like prostitution, stripping, drug dealing, and telemarketing are everywhere. Even worse, they are easy to get!

Anyone who's desperate for a job may find themselves in a company like IMA. That's International Marketing Association and NRS. And NRS stands for Nationwide Reader's Services. This company promises a lot of money and a proffessional environment. They make the soon to be hired pumped up with promises of free gifts and extra pay with each sale they make. All they have to do is repeat the same old lines over and over again on a piece of paper and they've won the customer. Sounds nice and easy huh?

WRONG!!!!

When you get into the job after being won over by a few managers then you see how wrong you totally are. Ahh...selling magazines. There's something that everybody needs to buy. You're told to read a paper that promises three magazines for the price of one, a diamond watch, and a bunch of other prizes that could be brought at a Wal-mart or some other store. If someone wanted a particular magazine then they would have gone to the website and subscribed themselves.

Calling others can be a good or bad thing depending on the day. Even though this job may teach you to have a thicker skin due to the countless rejection by customers, you may start developing anger issues due to the countless rejection by customers. If you don't make enough sells in a day then you are let go. Sometimes for the night but sometimes permanently. It's a highly competitive job and you really have to know how to sweat talk someone into buying magazines in order to climb higher in to the business.

Which brings everyone back to having a soul. Do you have the heart to lie to someone constantly? "There is no obligation to buy a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g in the sweepstakes" is a lie when a customer asks you if they have to buy anything in order to participate in the so called "Dream of a Lifetime Sweepstakes". I'm pretty sure buying one magazine for sixty months means that I'm paying for something. The only way to get ahead easily is to be lucky by calling an idiot which doesn't happen much by the way.

Professional? Not really. You can bring cell phones, wear you're usual clothes, and talk into people's ears when they are trying to talk to other customers. Just as long as none of these actions are done in front of the big boss. Sad huh?

There's other things wrong with this company but if one wants a deeper look into it then please look at these links:

At least Burger King is an honest job.
