Has anyone ever become something they're not in the workplace?

Let me give an example:

Let's say sales is one of the things you are completely uncomfortable doing. Turns out you take on a job that is sales-based. You even told the hiring manager that sales are your weakness and they felt it wasn't a sales job, even though sales has come up many times in your training.

Did you overcome it? Is sales one of those things you can just learn? How?

Re: Has anyone ever become something they're not in the workplace?

I've been there. I actually got really good at it. So good though that it made the work environment terrible because I was the one bringing everyone extra work because of all the business I brought in. They weren't compensated so I was the evil one.

I also saw lots of shady things that went against my background and training. I left the job.

I had a job where we had to help out the Sales force during designated times and I hated it.....it was a major reason why I left my previous position. I think it really depends on your personality on whether you can deal with it or not.
