After moving abroad with my girlfriend, I didn't initially speak the language. I needed a job so I applied for a job in my mother tongue. The job was calling construction site workers and conducting interviews with them about the drilling machines they use. Some of the questions I remember: "How many holes do you drill a day?", "how happy are you with your drill?", "what would you rather have: a drill that's lighter, or more reliable, or ...?". I needed to complete a full interview to get paid for it, which took a good 15 minutes at least. The people I called were on-site and busy with their things, and didn't really have the time to spare. Worst thing: the calls were made automatically, within 30 seconds of the last call, so you were constantly on the phone. I quit on the second day.
