My first summer job

I had my first summer job when i just finished my HKCEE. My post was a sales agent and my duty was to sell Broadband and Telephone line. The job was quite exciting and strange to me because i had to talk to the people actively and sell broadband and telepone line to them. Sometimes, even though i worked very hard, i still could not get enough contacts. What is the worst is that i probably was cheated by my boss since i just got very little salary after working for more than one month. Anyway, i learn a lot from this job.
