Part-time job: Discount brokerage?

Hey guys, I'm going to interview for an entry-level part-time (im full time undergrad) position at a Discount brokerage firm. On the phone, the guy told me that I will mainly do cold-calling and book appointments for the senior guys. Would this be a worth-while opportunity? Could this be decent resume exp, mind you I dont have much finance exp other than my extra-cirrucs and the fact that I currently work at a large investment company as an Investment Admin (Back office :( ) but my contract ends in 2 weeks.

But the MOST important factor me is: Will I learn anything? For the ones with experience with brokerages...is there much they could teach me?

I know this position compared to what a lot of you guys are searching for is nothing...but Im young and currently work part-time in BO and desperately want to start moving more to the front...im not expecting to make a single jump to junior trader, but im hoping that this position could set me onto the right track. Help!
