I’m interviewing for [this position](http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?IPath=OCS&job_did=J8D7XF72YFTC8Y191Q0&dv=dv&jrdid=&lpage=1&strcrit=QID%3dA6652245261451%3bst%3da%3buse%3dALL%3bCID%3d%3f%3bSID%3d%3f%3bTID%3d0%3bENR%3dNO%3bDTP%3dDR3%3bYDI%3dYES%3bIND%3dALL%3bPDQ%3dAll%3bJN%3dAll%3bPAYL%3d0%3bPAYH%3dgt120%3bPOY%3dNO%3bETD%3dALL%3bRE%3dALL%3bMGT%3dDC%3bSUP%3dDC%3bFRE%3d30%3bCHL%3dAL%3bQS%3dsid_unknown%3bSS%3dNO%3bTITL%3d0%3bJQT%3dRAD%3bNCC%3d%5e%22MPower+Concepts%22%24&sfascc=&CiBookMark=1&jobcount=2&sname=) on Monday. It looks like I could be doing anything from handing out surveys in the mall to licking boots. The payscale is barely mentioned…I fear it may be commission based.  
In any case, is this booty work for little pay or a better potential opportunity than I’m giving it credit for?

Goddammit. Nevermind, they’re on the fucking list. Goddammit.  
Ah well, it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t have taken a commission job anyway.

And thanks, Sanibel, I would’ve wasted my time on this otherwise. Gracias.
