How is it bait and switch? You should know, at least I did with every
program I've used a trial version, that it is just a TRIAL version and that
if you like it you're going to have to BUY it.

It's called Bait and Switch, possibly fraud, misrepresentation--who knows.
The problem is that the job I'm trying to get requires it. If I don't need
it
at home why would I buy it?

What's fraudulent about a trial product that you didn't buy the full
version
of?

Buy something else and move on.
