I am tempted to tidy up my CV and LinkedIn while things are quiet, but I keep second guessing everything. Is this the best time to refresh it, or should I do new year new me?

The sooner the better, but I wouldn’t prioritize that over taking some time off for the holidays. Start slow and work on it.

This is a pretty good time for those tasks. You can work on it and put it aside and think about it and go back to it. The next two weeks are good for that. And you can start off the new year with things the way you want them.

I don’t think there’s ever bad time to refresh your cover letter or LinkedIn profile. You should do it several times a year. If you have the time, go ahead and knock it out of the park.

I’ve been trying to find CLEs to get up to speed, but I’m wondering if this is generally something that gets more comfortable with time…

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
