I was recently let go from my job of 7 years with an organic egg company. We were purchased by private equity and I was the first to be let go by the new SVP of Sales. I worked my way up from Sales Admin to Trade Marketing Manager in a 5 year span. It’s been over a month and I don’t have any solid leads for a new role. I’m looking for a role in Category Management, Trade Management or just Sales in general. I am very competent and have valid credentials. Any help is appreciated.

Fidelity Investments is always hiring. If you’re new to the industry, you’d have to start somewhere entry level, but it doesn’t take long for performers to advance

Really sorry this happened to you. Especially after you put in so many years there. Hope you find something better soon, keep your head up.

Thanks for the words of encouragement!!

I am so sorry to hear that. I would keep an eye on Linked in and Indeed. There are lots of open roles on there.

I have spent the last 6 weeks on LinkedIn in applying for jobs. Upward of 50+ applications and nothing solid has come through. It gets discouraging. I think it’s more about who you know to be honest.

if applying doenst work, try making a list of companies u do wanna work for that are ranked easy, medium, hard (to get into), find recruiters and/or ppl in the position u wnat and send them a message om linked in to connect. connections get u farther than an online application for sure but if u dnt know ppl, u can get to know them. set up a chat to ask questions abt the role bc ur interested in applying nd mention ur also looking for a referral

Oh no. I'm so sorry. I'll try if I can contact some of my friends if they have leads for the roles that you are looking for.

I am considering an offer for an AE role (UK-LDN) where the base is £42k & OTE is £70k.

I’ve tried to counter offer but they said I’m currently maxing the salary band (L4). This role is exciting as I’d be the first UK employee, doing the full sales cycle & more but I had the same base and ote as an SDR. Is it too low? Do I take it?
