Lol well I guess I can start with my reply saying I am a telemarketer . I don’t sell anything but send free info about the company I work for . I am a college student and its better than flipping burgers or folding clothes all day for 8 an hour when I get 12 . I know its annoying and trust me I’m not doing it for a living but come om people .. Can’t u respect the fact that its a job and we don’t givre a shit if u just click on us lol I’d rather continue reading rather than have anyone answer the phone lol and its just a job .. Shouldt hate the people in general who do telemarketing .. Just hate telemarketing and don’t do it if u don’t wanna . Go flip burgers

I have been a TM for two days now and I can assure you we hate doing it as much as you hate getting the calls. It’s a crappy soul sucking job. I am supposed to be a massage therapist, but sadly there does not seem to be much call for LMT’s at the moment. Hate the company, not the callers. I hate it, but I have a 5 year old to feed.
(for fun i put people on the do not call list at work)

I found a way to stop telemarketers in their tracks. It is an audio call screener called SelfAnnounce. It requires callers to announce themselves over a loud speaker so you don’t have to get up to answer the phone if you don’t want to. Haven’t had one commercial interruption since I got it. Read all about it at SelfAnnounce(dot)com.

sorry you are having a bad day. but first i’m not american. second i hold on to my feelings toward telemarketers – the career not toward any individual. you are making it way bigger deal than it has to. it’s my personal feeling which has like nothing to do with a country or an ethnicity. if you have anything against american government, write a letter to white house tho they probably throw it in the trash.

and by the way, i would just like to add, those brilliant but opportunity deprived college educated filipino youth, they also talk about you guys and complain how some americans can be a prick, something to the effect,”these people that we call, we know that they just happen to be living in the free world.but given equal opportunities, we know we can be better than them.” the point is, WE ARE ALSO HUMANS JUST LIKE YOU. i guess all of us need a lesson in the dynamics of human psychology and sociology.if you don’t want to believe me, try visiting: peyups.com.and oh, they also call you morons and idiots during their private conversations, no offense.don’t get me wrong, i don’t hate people in the free world, i am not a bin laden in progress.

hey guys, am from the philippines and call centers here are thriving like mushrooms because of the cheap labor costs.i hope you people have heard of call centers relocating at the philippines or India (or anywhere in the Asia Pacific) apparently, most US capitalists have found it extremely financially beneficial to avail of the english speaking college educated youth of third world nations. i am an industrial engineering graduate from a university here in the philippines and you know what? i have no choice but to apply for a telemarketing job here in the philippines:with the current economic slump here in our country, an average college educated laborer earns $200 the most.and believe it or not, that amount means so much to us, it means that we are ensured to eat at least 3 times a day. take my case for example, there are only very few jobs available for me here and most of them require at least 3 years experience else they wont hire you.so what option is left for me? nothing but to be employed at a call center and earn a bit above the minimum wage ($300 a month) what can i do, i have no choice, life here is hard.hell, most of the people here calling you guys there are college graduates from top universities and were among the best inheir class.but sadly, we don’t have a choice.it’s really damning.i have been searching for sites regarding american peeps reaction against telemarketers and by now i am starting to feel anxious.please people, next time telemarketers call you go easy on them. after going through “i hate telemarketers” posts i am rethinking about strategies that i am planning to employ.here in the philippines your knowledge about exobiology and physics doesn’t really count much, you guys are fortunate to have opportunities abounding before you.i wish i could slam employment opportunities just like you people but i can’t due to the limited opportunities we have back here. gosh, i am starting to miss john steinbeck, how i wish he is still alive.yes, i admit we are being exploited.working at a call center here in the philippines is one of the highest paying job available to its college educated youth.email me for your comments. any body here who is a member of the NION anti-war movement? ciao!

Telemarketers are human and Telemarketing is just one of the jobs out there that sucks. That isn’t a reason to hate them, you know? I get a lot of calls from them and even tho it’s annoying, I say “Thank you but I’m not interested, have a nice day.” So what if they are annoying? They are just doing their job. Advertisments on TV are annoying too! But they are the reason why you get to watch that program you are watching. Dodo, I think it’s horrid to say that you will shoot yourself if you ever become a telemarketer… not everyone is smart and clever like you to get good results and get a good job, a job that you like, you know? Imagine this 40 year old lady who has 2 kids to support, and no husband. She found a job as a TM, and come upon your site to read your comments…
