listen Giftie, there's always an exception to the rule and you of course are one of them, you may have raised have raised money for worthy causes but don't kid yourself or anybody else as you have actually been paid to do it and the company you work for which results in less to the charities involved. Gift 'anti apathy' The company you work for is not a charity and takes a large % of the direct debit you a sign people up to and funds the lifestyle and large houses and fast cars for your directors and MD. They care passionately because they get fucking paid to.
They and you have parasitical relationship with charities who see you as a necessary evil as they get back around a 3-1 investment in their spend, if they could do it in another way they would.
But you may be a nice friendly bloke but wake up and smell the coffee about your ‘career choice’ and don’t make the mistake about assuming people that don’t like you or what you do don’t care about charities aor good causes. Applying for another job suggests you are not happy with what you are doing so good luck with that.
Their reaction is a result of their previous experience at people trying to sell them something in the street because that is what you are doing, selling.
If you really, really believed in those causes you would do it for free, fundraise so ALL the money goes to the charity or volunteer in your spare time.

it's not a career choice at all
I hope to be teaching in the next couple of years, this is what I am doing whilst I have the time to during the summer months. Yes the charities pay our company, but can you imagine anyone doing what we do each day for free, just today a completely lovely girl I work with was spat at. Seriously who spits at a young a girl for saying hello?
