I spent a day with a Cobra Group man
going door to door as a sort of second round of interview as I was still pretty clueless after the first round as to what exactly it was that they did, so effective was their sales pitch at masking the soul destroying truth.

I walked around an old mining town in the South Wales Valley's watching a grown man attempt to defraud old age pensioners out of their money. It was so slick it was unnerving and it broke my heart to witness first hand these old dears getting sucked in so devastatingly.

Whoever set up this company is utterly, utterly wicked and emotionally corrupt. Yes, the profits are huge but at what, very human, cost?

I got offered the job but very swiftly turned it down. I don't think I could have lived with myself if I'd accepted.

Happened the same to me in Reading. They kept calling me for a week asking me why I wouldn't come back after the "interview day".

...in Leeds - a company calling itself ETM Ltd. An initial interview spent trying to figure out what the hell they do, followed by trailing round a council estate with some slimy f**ker trying to get people to change phone contracts.

I was offered the job, but, as a lowly, broke, just out of Uni type, I didn't have a whole lot of choice on the job front, so buggered right off to the nearest train station, having told them where to stick their 'Marketing Executive Position'.
