I Have Social Anxiety

I recently got a job offer at this marketing company that sells very high quality cutlery.

What I'm supposed to do is write down the names of people and their numbers to set up appointments on specific days go to go to their homes and do presentations of the product the company is trying to sell.

Thing is, I'm already thinking about getting another job, because the anxiety I'm getting is reaching the point of mortification.

I already struggle with trying to have a casual conversation with someone just to try to be their friend, so imagine how awkward it's going to be to attempt to even call some random phone number just to try to schedule an appointment to sell something.

Even the manager just speaking about eventually having to call numbers to set up appointments was very embarrassing.

I left the office completely mortified and I feel like I'm going to die of embarrassment.

I always wondered what happened to Megaman X after that last game; guess he got into product advertising.

I have a lot of anxiety, social and generalized, and when in high school I was a part of National Honor Society. The teacher in charge required that we all volunteered to help take paperwork at the blood drives our school hosted. This included calling past donors and asking if they wanted to set up an appointment. It was extremely mortifying for me and I only had to do it for an hour twice a year, couldn't imagine doing it as a job. My advice is keep the job but look for another more within your comfort zone . Best of luck!
I sure hope its not a pyramid scheme or scam where you wind up with a bunch of unsold products & cutlery that isn't as high quality as you think. Lot of people I know got screwd by this claiming it to a be a summer job that pays like $15-20 / hour potentially. Did you research the name by putting "name of company scam or complaints"?

@BeatsProductions: Goddamn, I just looked up Vector Marketing and Cutco scam on Google and saw so many results of this.

Good thing I walked away before training was over.
@MegaManX97: Yep, it was Vector too. I'm glad you left. You deserve better. Now lets take them down :D

@MegaManX97: I sat through 3 hours of bullshit once to try & work with Vector... only to later that night realize it was a bunch of crap & illegitimate asf

I can't believe people actually make appointments with salespeople to come into their homes. At any rate, sounds like you would be miserable, so I'd look for something else.

Take control, the more you try, the better it will become, until it is nothing
