The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

CanvassingI once did a shift in a call centre for a kitchen company.
My job was to phone up pretending to be doing a survey from a magazine asking if they owned the property and how long ago they last had a refit. If they met the criteria (homeowner, oldish kitchen) then I got a bonus and it went to another canvasser. He then spun some yarn about how if they got their kitchen done and it was featured in the magazine you would get it for free.
The mag never existed.
Decided I was happier being poor than being a lying cunt.
