Most jobs require that you be friendly, upbeat and polite all the time. For other jobs, however, you just need a thick skin: think parking enforcers, bill collectors and repo men. MTV’s award-winning “True Life” documentary series is looking for people whose jobs make them the bad guy:
“Is it hard to know that a job well done will mean making other people angry at you? Do you repossess cars or foreclose houses? Perhaps you are a bill collector or an IRS tax auditor. Do you solicit customers through telemarketing or other methods that people may perceive as harassment? Are you a bounty hunter of some kind? Are you frustrated because you are constantly criticized for the work that you do even though you need the money? … If you appear between the ages of 16 and 28 and would like to share your story, please email MTV at badguy@mtvn.com and tell us about yourself and the job that you do. Be sure to include your name, location, phone number, and a recent photo.”
