OnTheRocks Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 my only advice would be to get after it immediately. i know too many people that think, "I'm gonna take a month off....and relax." These same idiots sit around for 2+ years without work. Get out and start looking right away while you are still currently employed. It is always easier to find something while you have a job,...then the pressure of finding one when you don't have one. GOOD LUCK!
whiteboy Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 KD in CT: you asked: "What specifically do you sell?" I have been selling E-commerce (EDI) services over the past four years. Prior to that, I was selling PC's and networking gear at the distributor level. Thanks for all the advice.
Dan Gross Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I know you've tried the search tools, but this is a nice meta-tool: http://www.indeed.com/
TigerJ Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 If I had a nickle for every dude calling me at work with an Indian accent, trying to get me to agree to a trial on a company website. . . As soon as I hear the word "company" they get dismissed, if not before. Anyone that doesn't know the difference between a company and a church doesn't have anything to offer me.

When you start getting your resume out there, don't just wait around for a prospective employer to call you back. Show them that you are very interested in the job with good, consistent follow-up. Be professionally aggressive. Keep your name and your qualifications more fresh in their minds than the other applicants. Sorry that you're having to go through this.....I wish you much success in your next position.
jarthur31 Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Move to New Dehli, India. Put a towel on your head. Learn to live off of $300 a month. Plenty of I.T. jobs over there. Just ask HP and Dell. 278171[/snapback]

I am looking for a sales person now, however as we are very small it involves a great deal of prospecting. I am based in Richmond and sell IT Asset Management and Compliance consulting to Fortune 2000 organizations nationally. PM me if the move would not daunt you and you feel you are aggresive and willing to take a chance with a small company
