No. I don't want a job that involves selling or being on tv.

A big NO!  I couldn't sell an umbrella during monsoon season.

I wouldn’t want to be a QVC host. Sales is a tough way to make a living, metrics can sink you fast, and tenure doesn’t protect you. A lot of hosts end up living above their means, and when the job goes away, they can lose everything. We have already seen it happen with at least one former host.

Yes I would! Maybe not at this moment, but overall yes!

One of the hosts once said that part of their audition was to sell/describe a pencil. So I tried it. I thought I was being very clever and entertaining. Until I ran out of things to say in about a minute.

Probably, but would depend on compensation. I definitely think I'd be good at it.

Sometimes it seems like it would be fun, but overall, probably not. I think I might enjoy it as long as I was interested in and liked what I was trying to sell. If I didn't, it would be tough for me. It would also be hard being on TV and knowing so many people are watching (and perhaps judging) your every move.
