"Whilst earning partly on a “performance”
basis seemed a bit dubious at first, for me
it has proved to be a very beneficial way to
work.
The income,
although not always entirely predictable, is
better than any other part time job I’ve
ever come across."
Jake, Dundee
"As a retired local government officer, I
never imagined myself being paid to
work for a good cause – especially going
from
door to door, meeting people on their
doorsteps, but the way I was trained to do
it makes it easy, enjoyable and financially
rewarding.
"
Robert,
Aberdeen
“Initially. I
was wary of doing this work, as “door
knocking” has such a bad reputation. But as
soon as people realise that I am not trying
to get them to buy a product, they are
polite and friendly, even if they are
not interested in conservation.”
Cynthia,
Edinburgh
"This unusual
job combines outdoor exercise, job
satisfaction, and good earnings for a
worthwhile cause"
Alan V., W.
Sussex
“Frankly, I didn’t really enjoy the work.
There’s a lot of walking involved, and I was
discouraged that so few people seem
interested.
In spite of this, I did eventually manage to
find enough concerned people who wanted to
become members of the Trust to make the
job financially worthwhile. It really helps
to do the job if you are motivated by both
an interest in what the Trust does AND the
need to
earn the
money.”
Tracy,
Glasgow
"I like the
fact that I don't have to "sell" the Trust
in order to get good results."
Joanne,
Blackpool
"It's good knowing that every year we have
found hundreds of new members for the Trust,
helping wildlife protection in Scotland.
That's some
achievement!"
Janet,
Edinburgh
"I
whole-heartedly approve of the charity I
promote and so feel good about how I earn
money."
David G,
Malvern
"It gives me
time to do other things during the day"
John, Harrow
"I
like not having a boss on a day to day basis
and no work/office politics"
Simone, Gateshead
"It's creative and
spontaneous. No two evenings are the same."
Peter, Norwich
"It was good to learn how to
present myself in a clear, coherent and
confident manner"
Robin, Perth
"It's always interesting to
talk to loads of different people and
meeting extremes of character."
Malcolm, Cumbria
“Amazingly, this is my 5th
year doing this job. I like it, as it clears
my head after a day spent at the computer
attempting to finish my first
novel”
John, Lincoln
