Ive been searching for entry level sales jobs at software companies for over 5 months now. Ive applied to 100+ companies yet had only a few interviews but have not been able to land an offer. Would appreciate some advice or if anyone knows a company hiring. Thanks

Look for BDR roles on LinkedIn and definitely get a resume writer on Fiverr. Boomsa is who I used and she puts a ton of keywords in your resume to help you get through the initial resume screening process where they look for those words.

If you can, find a recruiter who can help you leverage your resume and get a foot in the door. My work experiences all came about by having a relationship with the recruiter!

Hope that helps. Feel free to message me for more tips and best of luck, it's hard out here! 🤞

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
