GKR Karate - Warning!

You're not a very good salesperson. I'm not even remotely interested in joining yet. Try a different approach. Try to work something about it being a good deal into your sales pitch. Good luck on your new position.

Here is how to put out a real warning.


A few days of that should do the trick.

FYI, there are a number GKR threads here. (surch funkshun). You may want to get in touch with some of the people here who have previously had a run in with them.

So...as the guy off the street going door to door selling karate, were they going to teach you karate first, or were you just supposed to make up your own menacing looking stuff?

Hehe..
Here's my thread on my own GKR run-in:

Yup, these guys are a joke.

.[*]If they ask any questions, pause to eat a scotch egg.

I haven't had Scotch eggs for ages. Now I want one. I will have that and some toast for dinner tonight.

This is the best thing in the thread. +1

I have to go out for my scotch eggs, every time I make them at home, it ends up being an unmitigated disaster

It's all about the method.
You have to patty the sausage out into a large, even thickness before you wrap the egg. Uneven sausage thickness is probably the issue. Also boil your egg for 9 min, then cool immediately before peeling. This will give you a yellow interior that's delicious and firm, not green or runny.

Making a thick breadcrumb crust helps, too. I do flour, egg, breadcrumbs, egg, breadcrumbs because I like a crunchy outside. If you have time to let it set in the fridge, do so. This will help the egg maintain it's shape.

375 degree oil to fry, and let it get to the darker side of golden brown.

Lastly, drain and let it cool for about 3-4 mins before you slice it with a serrated knife. It will hold together better that way.

Serve with some good spicy mustard, not the crappy yellow bottle stuff.

I have never tried a scotch egg but clearly I should!

By God, you've never lived.

That's what she said.



I mean... holy fuck, that sounds like a delicious way to die.

I just did some reading on Scotch eggs, so this thread has been useful. Not sure where I could try one in San Diego without making it myself.

I love these types of schemes. Commission based selling in untested markets are always "unique and pioneering", the idea is always "the first of its kind". They are always looking for someone "who can bring a bit of flair to the role and are top level salespeople". You will be required to work long hours "at first, but when you reach Customer Development Client Co-ordinator Business Manager you will be earning more than most people make in a lifetime". The commission structure is something they "are trying out because we want to make sure our salespeople are looked after" with the bonus' and payouts determined on levels attainable only by selling your soul to Satan. You are always told they are looking at other people for the role and they "might get back to you tomorrow or the next day, because this role is highly sought after", but they will contact you that afternoon saying "you got the job, I bet you are really happy!" They also provide "full training on site", a codeword for indoctrination.

I once worked for a real estate company that gave you two free airline tickets to a domestic location if you let them manage your rent. Airline tickets to a domestic location!
