I have almost a decade of sales experience between B2B sales and sales management almost entirely in the beverage industry with some construction sales experience aswell. I am strugging to find legitimate jobs on job boards whether they be a misleading post or they are severely underpaid. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? I have a such a passion for the beverage industry and I know companies are hiring but receive no response. I live on Long Island Ny Metro area. Thank You

I have explored many pharmaceutical and medical device sales postings but I have been quickly over looked because even though I have the sales experience in an unrelated field the only caveat is that I do not possess a Bachelors degree and it seems like that is the immediate cause for turning down my application

I’d say jump back into the construction sales because there’s money to be made there. While you’re there keep looking for the beverage company that you want to work for.

I’m a Long Islander too! Treat your application pipeline like your sales pipeline is the best advice I can give. It’s really tough right now. I will say, there are more opportunities in the city BUT wayyyyy more competition. When I was job hunting NYC positions would have hundreds of application within days and a similar position on Long Island would have less than 50 in a month, so that is something to consider. Also, broaden your horizons. I never sold in the beverage industry but I’ve worked in the restaurant industry while in college….there is so much money to be made in other industries that you really don’t know until you explore it. Just my 2 cents.

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
