I've been out of sales for seven years, but I want to get back in. So far, I've filled out dozens of applications for inside sales (remote preferred) via LinkedIn and Indeed with no luck. Either the market is brutal or I'm doing this wrong. What job boards and positions are you having success with?

The job boards you're using seem fine, there may be others but I don't think there's any that would have a lock on a lot of jobs. The job market really is, as you say, brutal. A lot of companies seem to be pausing their hiring due to the unsettled economy. All you can do is keep trying, persistence is the name of the game.

If you’ve been out of sales for a while, you might want to target positions that highlight transferable skills rather than going straight for mid-level roles. I’ve hired reps who came back after a gap by first proving themselves in entry or associate-level positions.

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
