Hello everyone!

I am 27 years old and I've been in Auto Sales for the last 7 years.
I am currently looking to make a career change into something different. Specifically Healthcare Recruiting or some other kind of lucrative remote sales role.

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice?
I've been applying for months now and have not had much luck yet

I feel the same way!

In all honesty it might be good to get a healthcare certification or license. It would put you more towards the rope of the list. (From someone who has a healthcare license and Healthcare Insurance License).

You need to switch into software sales / tech sales.
