"Public relations" position
I was just out of college, had done a PR internship, and found an ad for PR work. So I answered it.

They asked me to come in for an interview. I was given an application and asked to sit in a room with others, where we were then subjected to a video extolling the wonders of this new company. Yep, group interview for a job that combined the worst of telemarketing, sales and retailing. We were to cold call people, get them to pay to join a "buying club," and then get them to come in and buy worthless crap for a commission -- only during select hours.

"You work directly with the customer in all stages. What could be more public relations than that," asked the salesman-with-the-next-big -thing-idea.

I resisted saying in front of the group, "sleeping with the customers"? Wish I had now.

Because I had a resume and filled out the application with actual work experience, they were very eager to have me and yet very surprised when I walked out with a "not interested."

I hate these cunts
I had a similar one but the interview was "in the field".

We had to go into shops on retail estates and hassle the staff to sign up to some Gift Aid thing, giving some of your tax to charity, but still involved giving your bank details to a total stranger. Whilst at work.

It was appalling. The girl showing us round was no more than 19 but was already talking about 'running her own office in three months', completely deluded.
After she snagged one poor sod in a carpet shop, we started onto Currys next door.
"You do the next one" she said. I made my excuses and left.
