1. Interviewer for a marketing research firm
2. Called people (solicited and unsolicited) to have them complete surveys for different clients.
3. Yes (summer between freshman and sophomore year of college).
4. Technically, I was in school, but I was on summer break.
5. I didn't really like it because I didn't want to get into Marketing Research after graduation. Plus, being on the front lines in any call center is bad news. For our cigarette client, the calls were generally smooth (~10-15 minutes, no one really got upset). With our retail client, though, I almost shot myself in the foot. The interview itself was ~30-45 minutes, and we couldn't take any "shortcuts" when asking questions (to keep the surveys valid).
6. The job mostly, but some of the people were WAY to into the job. That got annoying from time to time.
7. No. I told them I'd be leaving to go back to school.
