Me zilch, nada, nothing. I then realized I am not destined to work in the sales field. I didn't return and I highly doubt they missed me.

I did that back then, too, except I managed to hold out for the whole week- I just didn't come back in on Monday ("ghosting" as the kids would call it today). I think the product was vinyl siding? Or roof replacements? Sometime like that They just photocopied pages of a cross-directory (like a phone book, but it's listed in phone number order instead of by names), and we all sat there in a room with our pages and a phone, and something to write down the information if we were able to set up an appointment. I don't remember if I ever made any....maybe one, the whole week. They sent me my check for the 20 hours in the mail, and it helped me do my Christmas shopping that year, but I never had any desire to try it again.
