11. Jennifer Aniston

Nowadays, Jennifer Aniston is among the most recognizable actresses in Hollywood.

But prior to being Rachel Green in the all-time favorite TV show “Friends,” Aniston was working very humble jobs.

First she worked as a bike messenger, but when that became too exhausting, she turned to being a salesgirl. As it turns out, she is much better at acting than at telemarketing.

The actress commented on her job in an interview: “I was awful, selling timeshares in the Poconos and upsetting people terribly and me just being the worst at it, because I just apologized profusely and hung up the phone.”
