Hi! Looking for advice. I'm disabled but I don't want to go on disability. I have 10 years of sales experience (outside + inside) in multiple industries as I started working when I was 15. My job can't further accommodate me, and it's affecting my health. One of the big things is I need to work laying down (no standing or sitting right now, doctor's orders). I'm wondering if any of you wonderful women have a sales job that you can work from your bed. Something w/ 1 screen? Open to anything atp!

Managing chronic pain from home taught me to build a cozy “office” on my bed with a lap desk and noise-cancelling earbuds to design gentle workflows, and it made all the difference. I work for a fully remote sales team as a customer success representative. So, if you choose a fully remote role in that or even inside sales, where you can hop on calls and update a single CRM screen. You can make it work! Have you considered pivoting to a freelancing-related field? I do that for extra income.

I have had some chronic pain issues as well throughout my life and I know how debilitating it can be. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm currently unemployed right now so I don't have a job to offer you, but I think anything that's fully remote should work. I just wonder if you could open your chances to landing a remote role by applying for disability? Is there a reason you're so against that?

I’ll keep my ears open!

OP, how’s it going?
