I'm currently open for a sales position. I have a few years under my belt. If anyone works at a company with open slots please let me know!

Hey io.isaiah, you must be new. Welcome to the War Room.
We see posts like this every day, so I recommend HIGHLY that you use search to find information that you can use in your job search.
If you look around, you'll see that for the most part, this is an anonymous forum, so you're highly unlikely to get anybody saying "my company x is hiring" as that would dox the poster.
Finally, put some effort in. You provided absolutely nothing in your post. Without knowing ANYTHING about you (what have you sold, where are you located, what are you looking for?), you wouldn't get a referral anyway. If you'll take some advice, you'll get out of your job search exactly what you put in. You're going to need to work at this process and not just toss "I need a job" over the fence and expect a result.

Two individuals have already messaged me about job positions they have open at their company. The sentiment of your comment is false. Also, this is an oddly reactive emotional comment to leave. But thanks I guess🤨.
That's great that you got messages on the post. @Sunbunny31is just trying to familiarize you with other ways to go about your search within this ecosystem that may have more fruit. We can be very picky in our responses to post especially ones with very little context and when a tool exists elsewhere on this site for exactly what you are trying accomplish.
No negative sentiments, just trying to point you down a road that will be more productive for your search especially since a lot of us longtime savages have been posting our very excellent opinions on this topic quite a few times and don't like to keep saying the same thing over and over again when a search bar exists.
TY and happy hunting and hope you find a great fit.

I think the post value subject has been addressed. I would simply add this: Isaiah from NC, be careful who you shit at in here, they might be holding your resume as we speak.
Capiche?
Capiche?
Again. Another strange comment. Almost threatening and demanding🤔. The question is. Both you and Sunbunny would never speak to someone like this in person. Anonymous accounts are strange.
Know what the smartest person in the room never thinks?
They never think they’re the smartest person in the room. ✌️
They never think they’re the smartest person in the room. ✌️
I see. I’ve asked my network of people. I’ve used all tools I have. I thought I’d ask here.
What does this pertain to? And I don’t live in NC.. What an odd comment to leave under a post.
Dude, chill. I ABSOLUTELY would speak to you this way in person.
Because I said nothing I wouldn't stand behind.
You got lucky that somebody forwarded you a lead in your DMs based on no information in your post. You didn't explain your experience, what you're looking for, anything. And you still haven't.
And after your overly and inappropriately belligerent responses to some advice and guidance, well, best of luck to you.
Suggest you read some of the content here and do some homework. You know, like successful sales reps do so they know their audience and have some intel on how to approach the room.

How was this not read when it was so clearly spelled out. Some folks just know better. I mean, why lean on the 1000 years of experience in here. How could that help?
Can you imagine getting advice from a site where people come for advice? The horror!
I need a job!
You won’t get one like that.
How dare you speak to me that way?!!!
You won’t get one like that.
How dare you speak to me that way?!!!
Add that obviously I was terribly wrong, because someone forwarded some openings already! So it was bad advice, so there!
Nooo. It’s the way you responded. Same with @Sunbunny31. Unnecessary way to respond. Also you kind of threatened me and said I live in NC, like you know me? Very strange. Once again. Both you you wouldn’t speak to someone like that in person. Even now you continue to throw personal jabs.
I’ll be honest here. You did not give advice. You used insults and belittlement to say a point. It was not advice and it was very strange. You think a random person on the internet is going to listen to your criticism?
You mad, bro?
No I’m not mad at all. Your comment was just very strange. You’re here. Under my post. Arguing with someone you don’t know. Caring about something you don’t need to care about. But look at you. You are here. Arguing🤔. Ask yourself why. But I’m completely fine. I have an interview in an hour👍🏻
Can’t imagine how that could go wrong.
Oh goodness me, my post had insults? Please do point those out. You realize you're in a forum where people come for help, yes?
I did provide some advice to you. You came in here without qualifying your own self for a role. And you still haven't.
What are you looking for?
What is your experience in?
And again, I'd say this to your face.
You're not helping yourself here at all. Some of the regulars here have pointed you at some links, doing your work for you. I'm trying to point out to you that sales reps help themselves. They learn to read the room. They don't misinterpret clear advice as threats (the heck?) or "strange".
SMDH.

No. The tact was aggressive, assuming and unforgiving. You don’t know what work I’ve put in on my end. I’m not responding anymore. If you want people to listen to you, you have to worry about optics and wording. I’m done here
✌️
LOL. You are killing me.
Perhaps sales isn't for you?
-Get weirded out quickly and easily. (you know NC is in your profile, right? And that it would make sense for someone looking to give you advice to look there to see what experience you may have, right?)
-Can't answer simple questions about what you'd like to do or what your experience is. Why is that?
-Complain about anonymous forum posters while posting anonymously (apologies if io.isaiah is in fact your real name)
-Can't accept advice or suggestion because it wasn't nice enough on a lazy post? <-- that is the FIRST thing I've said that might be construed as an insult...but it's true.
-Come to a forum for advice, don't like the advice you're given, complain about said advice being mean or some such, attempt to insult responders by "who listens to anonymous forum posters" on an anonymous forum where people come to get advice anonymously from anonymous posters who are, in fact, listened to all the time
You're right, we have no idea what work you've put in on your end. But on this forum, you put in exactly NONE. Given some guidance about how to get better results, you immediately reject it and then try to insult people. LOL.

Clearly we have failed to live up to his expectations.
None of what you just said was asked for. My post was simply asking for people to message me. You have advice laidin with a derogatory tone and ran with it. I didn’t take kindly to that. It’s inappropriate. I said who listens to Criticism not “advice”. Your mincing words and coming up with a narrative.
You are the one who got upset at a short post asking for jobs. Now that I’ve said that I’ll move on. I recommend you do too.
You came with a bunch of critiques that were not asked for. And how could I listen to you when your words were dark and weren’t even laid out in a way that’s kind. How can you think someone is going to listen to a Rando on the internet that’s criticizing them😂.
Hopefully you will think before responding to another persons post with all your emotions again. It’s weird

Thought you weren't responding anymore.
Guess who has been in this forum for years with zero issue.
Guess who showed up today and is upset because - why? Some rando hurt his feelings? Because it wasn't a warm and fuzzy response to a really lame post?
Guess you also didn't read the message about why people are coming here - yes! To listen to randos giving criticism and advice!
You're hilarious, really. Look at what you're doing here. You didn't like the answer you got, you got upset, you're still responding and complaining about getting criticism you rightly earned.
If you don't want people to give you advice, don't come to an advice forum and ask for help. Especially don't get all salty when you get advice that isn't sunshine and roses. Learn from it and maybe you'll get somewhere.
PS: Experienced sales reps can do all of the things pointed out to you in this thread - research, read the room, be responsive, know their audience. This will also apply in many lines of work. Best of luck to you, as you have a lot to learn.
Isaiah has also removed NC from his profile. Oh Isaiah, you're just asking to be dragged.
He just wanted people to message him job openings. With no context. Guess where we went wrong? Yes! Actually trying to be helpful, but oh no, in the wrong tone!
It’s bc I no longer live in NC
Next time, I will remember that people without any sales experience are extremely thin skinned and absolutely unable to steer a conversation to a desired result.
Oh shit, could that be misconstrued as unsolicited advice?
I'll just never learn.

You lied. You said you weren't responding anymore.

If I only hire people smarter than me, than I am the smartest?

Ok, since we're being "Honest". You are soft as baby shit and won't last more than 6 mo's in ANY legitimate sales role if you can't keep your cool. Best advice you're gonna get.
Getting offended by comments from anonymous strangers on the internet SCREAMS Back-office HR rep.

...in a highly diversified and inclusive culture with daily coddling sessions, rest mats and warm fucking milk.
If you can't take criticism honestly given in the spirit of help, life in general is going to be more difficult than it needs to be.
And that goes double for sales.

It looks like he edited his original post to sound less bad then it originally did. I've sold over $500,000 as a high ticket closer. I'm not upset at the post, but I will NOT tolerate someone typing something they wouldn't say in person. Especially when it’s not true. Nobody talks to people like that face to face. He brought it on himself. He got ticked off at me and HE didn’t just a random person on the internet be “dumb”.
Some people aren’t helping to help. They “help” in order to be right and hear themselves speak. Really this guy was ticked off at something he thought was stupid and made a ton of assumptions. Then commented something that was false as I’ve had two interviews already.
People are reading this thread and messaging me.
But this LinkedIn or Facebook. So I guess be your true selves🤷🏼♂️. But I have a rule for myself to never let anyone disrespect me in any fashion whatsoever. Next time he needs to change his tone. @Sunbunny31 & @oldcloser have proved my point that this isn’t about help, but their own ego. I’ve meant these sort of “helpers” before. Nothings genuine. All the help is to be right and I won’t have it.

Over $500k as a high ticket closer? That number, in one deal, doesn’t add to high ticket. What did you do, split a deal?
You just keep making this worse.
You just keep making this worse.
Oh my dude, you're back?
And yeah, you're definitely making it worse.
I'm just going to mention again: I've not said anything here I'd not say to your face. I own my words.
I've also been honest. Blunt, but honest. That's not disrespect, but evidently, you cannot tell the difference, and you're getting petulant.
If posters are messaging you and offering you roles without knowing the slightest bit about you or your experience, or what you want to do - well, good for you, I suppose. For them, all I'd say is caveat emptor. My suggestions were geared toward helping you broaden what you would have access to, but ok. You claim to be getting responses, then don't take any advice that would actually help you get even more companies to take a look at you. That's....an interesting strategy. However, I'm sure you'll land the job you deserve.
Questions for you, since you can't let it go:
Have you looked around the forums at all to see the kind of help that others are getting?
Have you noticed that you, too, are anonymous?
And just because you still haven't provided it, which is beginning to be very amusing:
What's your experience?
What are you looking to do?
And yeah, you're definitely making it worse.

I've never seen anyone self-own like this.
"Help me!"
"No, not like that"
"I sold half a fruit roll one summer!"
One must ask oneself. How could this guy even afford the dope it must have taken to get himself this way?

As a "BDR" you have "sold over $500k as a high ticket closer" 🤦
Given your level of communication and lack of ability to properly articulate literally anything, Im guessing you couldn't close the bathroom door at Applebee's.

Still hasn't listed his experience or what he's looking to do.
Wonder why that is.

If dude came back and did this right he'd actually get the help he showed up for. Even now.
Nahh... too late.
Nahh... too late.
Well, he claims you must have edited your post, or maybe it was me he thinks edited my post to make it sound better.
...apparently without realizing that you can see the "edited" tag on the posts. Only one has been edited...long after the post that's being complained about.
Oof. Bummer, that.

Had no idea what he was even talking about. Less bad? By whose standards? Jebus
That whole thing was difficult to parse. Seemed overly emotional.

Sounds awesome tbh

I would start looking at your network first, see which of your past co-workers are at a place you like, meet with them, and see if you can get referred.
Also I would do these things:
Update your profile and switch to actively looking for new roles here.
Make sure to your update your linkedin and put "Open to New Opportunities"
Look at the academy for tips and use the search bar for ideas on the search.

Thank you! I've been reaching out to past coworkers and trying. The job market is a little difficult right now. I've been unemployed for a bit longer than I ever have bee.
This forum isn’t the place to find a job. But it’s a great place to post your scrubbed resume for input and critique.
Best of luck!

@io.isaiahmake sure to mention the interactions from this thread in your interview. IM SURE they will hire you on the spot for your world class interpersonal communication skills.
If not, I bet @Sunbunny31would write a personal rec for you💀
If not, I bet @Sunbunny31would write a personal rec for you💀
Ready.
Perfect for you.
Nice shot here 😂
Lmao.
Just make sure to expand your network as much as you can, and certainly to have a strong resume to include your set of skills and experiences and finally to get your status always to be open to new opportunities here& LI and other platforms.
Thank you. I actually just had an interview from someone that reached out on here. I'm going to change my status on linkedin when I get home.
Perfect,much of luck!
Tell me what you did when you signed up here. Did you read any FAQs? Rules?
Narrator: no.
HiringCafe has 3k+ remote jobs, scraped from 10K+ companies daily
Now all you’ve done is jump in and berate me and insult me😂. You think I’m going to now take your *kindhearted advice*. You’re here because you’re bored and defending a random person you don’t even know on the internet.
I mean…that’s the internet.
Your response to SunBun calling her comment emotional is where you stepped in the snare trap. She, as a long standing member of this community, was being helpful in a orienting you with the community and you decided to get defensive. Recovery is hard if you double and triple down.
I wish you the best of luck in your search. Without more detail or context it’s hard to direct or suggest.
