The reason why we’re having such a hard time finding a job with IDT Energy as a door to door salesman might be because they outsource these jobs.

We just found this in the IDT SEC report

“We market our energy services primarily through direct marketing methods. In fiscal 2006, the bulk of our marketing was done via door to door marketing using outside contractors.”

Therefore, we need to find out who these contractors are and get our intern a job with one of them. Maybe we can look through craigslist for job openings in the New York area for door to door salesmen. Then look at those companies and see if any of them specialize in energy. — BEN POPKEN
