Hollywood star Johnny Depp has revealed he hated working as a telemarketer and only made one sale.

The 50-year-old `Transcendence` star tried out a multitude of jobs before finding fame as an actor.

“I marketed pens – on the phone. But the beauty of the gig was that you had to call these strangers and say, `Hi, how ya doing?` You made up a name, like, `Hey, it`s Edward Quartermaine from California. You`re eligible to receive this grand-father clock or a trip to Tahiti`,” Depp said.

“You promise them all these things if they buy a gross of pens. It was just awful. But I actually think that was the first experience I had with acting.”

The actor, who has just confirmed his engagement to his `Rum Diary` co-star Amber Heard, wasn`t much good at being a mechanic either.

“I was working at a gas station, pumping gas, and they put me in the garage and made me a mechanic. Once I changed all the tires on this guy`s car, did the alignment, put the wheels back on, pulled it down, guy got in, and his left rear wheel shot off the vehicle. I was asked to leave, needless to say,” Depp said
