The job itself would be going door-to-door selling educational products for the US families. Georgian student needed to fund their own trip and stay in the US and would only get payed by commission on their sales. My job was to generate leads, talk to university representatives in Tbilisi, conduct a full recruitment cycle, train them for the job and help with documentation.
