Has anyone ever done a phone survey job?

I'm starting a job on Monday taking surveys over the phone for market research. I'm not selling anything, basically just doing questionaires from what I understand. I want to know to expect. Do most of the people respond positively? Is it a frustrating job? Anything else I should know?

Expect a lot of people to be angry at you for having their number and calling them in the first place. I did this work too for some quick cash in college, and have to say it made me a little emotional. Try not to take the rejection personally.





There will be some you call that are nice enough to take the survey, primarly older people or those you call after dinner time (before or during will be most annoyed). Because i work in marketing, I always do surveys like that cause I understand.
Reply:Depends on how much they pay you, and if you get paid per survery. If the money is good, go for it.
Reply:it may be frustrating because even though you are not a telemarketer people may think you are and get mad
Reply:If you get paid per complete questionaire, do yourself a favor. Resolve that you will stop at nothing to get the maximum income !
Reply:Most of the people you call aren't even home. Some of the ones you talk to are nice and some are nasty. I remember one guy lecturing me because I needed a license from the county. Shucks, I was in Washington, DC calling Florida.
