I remember at the questions in a Bible study, our elderly sister in Christ (she is like a grandma to my wife and I ❤) saying she always encourages genuine preachers of the Gospel when she sees them in the street.
Today after a job interview at Canary Wharf there was a British Nigerian man preaching the Gospel. THE GOSPEL-not a watered down one, making it all about you!!!!!!
He preached on the wrath of God coming and Christ (God The Son) taking the wrath of God The Father on the cross, rightfully meant for us, so that those who come to Christ and accept His sacrafice can be saved from the wrath to come.
It was a blessing to say thanks to him and to be an encouragement as I can't imagine he recieves much.
This man was not afraid to preach what John 3:36 explicitly says!!!!!
May we as Christians always encourage GENUINE preachers of the Gospel (not heretics like JWs). It is a thankless job and most of us do not have the guts to do it.

With apologies to @BritishFailedAesthetic if this is seeming to hijack his thread, but I'll just finish off my discussion with @sree251 which I promised to do.
It may be a cultural difference, but in the UK employers advertise jobs and those looking for work apply. Many apply for one job and part of the process of choosing a new employee is to invite people for interviews. Perfectly straightforward. I think the sense of aggression came when you said it sounded like streetwalking.
Going for an interview for a job doesn't sound good.
Normally, if someone told me that they had a job interview I would be delighted for them, therefore your apparent moral judgement seems very odd and perhaps aggressive. Are things very different in the States where employers just write to you and ask you to come and join?
I'm happy to take this to another post if that is more helpful.

I can close this diversion with a short reply. You are a Brit and I am American. Looking for a job is the last resort to make a living when you throw in the towel and give up hope of realizing your dream. I would rather be dead than go looking for a job.
