I have 9 years of sales experience (no tech experience) highly interested in applying for the Account Executive Job in salesforce, will they at least give me an interview? This is all I need to convince them I am good candidate, but based on my previous experience tech companies rarely provide this opportunity

Go for it. With almost a decade of experience, I don't see why you wouldn't be at least considered for the job

I would lay out the reasons why you are a good candidate in your cover letter. This will give you a chance to highlight your skills and peak their interest. Hopefully, it will give you a better opportunity to interview. Good luck.

Thank you, I was actually referred by a sales force employmee

I have referred few people in similar situation and they did not get interview call. Not trying to discourage you but have some backups. Keep trying and you will find something.

Thank you , need honest feedback! Im gonna try to directly get in contact with the hiring manager

So my friend referred me and the hiring manager told him to reach out to the recruiter for the role and that based on a new process I will likely be interviewing for several roles and it would be great to have some feedback from the recruiter.

Any idea what this new process is?
