Exactly. A person might enjoy working for the Census, for instance, but that's for a few weeks once every ten years. Doesn't mean they want to make a career of knocking on people's doors and asking them all kinds of questions. Or, for that matter, that they want to be a telemarketer.
Does anybody want to be a telemarketer? I had a client who was one for two weeks. I asked him why he left so quickly (I actually have to ask that question) and he said the job involved calling up older people and telling them their order was "ready to be shipped" and asking for their credit card information. Once he figured out (with help from one of the people he called who was sharper than the others) that none of them had ordered anything, he left that job.
