Last week I went to a Job Fair in Carson, CA. One of the booths was occupied by an agent of a company known as Citigroup. To make a long story short, I had an interview with this man a few days ago; he gave me a few pieces of the company’s literature and had me attend an orientation. As this wore on I sensed that the orientation was to convince prospective employees to sell mutual funds. Have any other Dopers been approached this way? My guard is up; I’m no salesman…
Considering the Bull Market-climate, if you take the job, you may not have to sell anything; your customers may just be coming to you.
What’s you financial background? I’m happy w/my IMR, but wouldn’t mind throwing some new business to a fellow Doper.
See how easy it is?

To ExTank: I have been an Amway distributor since 1975. I have not flourished in this business, for reasons that would fill up their very own thread here. I can admit, however, that this job with Citigroup would indeed be difficult for someone who has been diagnosed as schizophrenic by five psychiatrists… 
One addendum: during an “orientation” in which prospective MF saleseman watched a slide/video presentation, the guy who interviewed me said that some insurance-company lobbyists interrupted a meeting of a Senate committee, chaired by Ohio Senator Howard Metzenbaum; the result of this was that the insurance lobbyists forbade (so this guy’s claim goes) the United States Government from regulating the insurance industry! I wionder if this is the kind of thing I could expect to read in Mother Jones…
