Hiring an Online Sales Counselor (OSC) is like finding a unicorn that can juggle fire while smiling at strangers and analyzing a spreadsheet—all at the same time. No one person is going to nail every skill on the wishlist: people skills, task management, analytical thinking, adaptability, emotional stability, and the drive to perform.

Today I opened up facebook and was greeted by this picture one of my friends posted. Hysterical—> The tag line on it read: Dear Walmart, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. Love, The Jews.
