I’m applying to jobs and would like some opinions on my resume. I have had 6 jobs since I graduated collage over 10 yrs ago. The first three out of collage are not very relevant to what I am looking for now (they were sales jobs). I am currently a project manager at a CRO and my current and last 2 jobs (over the last 6 yrs) are relevant to the positions I’m perusing. Should I include the sales positions? It is a full page without them, so I would need to cut out info on relevant jobs to include

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
