Will you take up a job as credit card promoter?

I always avoid those credit card promoters. They seem to appear all the time. One week, you see those credit card promoters from one bank, and sometimes, there are two teams representing different banks in the same shopping malls. I wonder why anyone wants to take up such a job, yet they seem to get enough people to sign up for credit cards. Do you like this kind of job? Have you ever worked as a credit card promoter before?

I wouldn't mind taking this job. While some people see it as annoying (myself included), I don't think they're doing anything bad. In fact, some people DO need credit cards. Credit card promoters might be annoying to you because you don't need a credit card, but they could be helpful to others. So it's not necessarily a bad job

Yes, it is not necessary a bad job. It takes a kind of persons to be successful. It takes a person who is determined to succeed despite having so many rejections. Selling credit card requires a lot of training, and product knowledge. The credit card promoters have to undergo background check before the bank hires them

I never had in sucha job. But yes i worked in restaurants as a part time. Its very difficult to get a job for part time. I had to search for almost a week for a job. It is a bit difficult but i am enjoying.

Actually credit card promoters are not part time jobs. These are full time employees of the bank or companies hired by the banks, but the training comes from the bank. They have to undergo stringent background check, and a few days of training before they can go out to promote credit cards.
