Remote sales positions?

Where are you looking already?
Also, if you can’t be referred to the role by a current employee then good fucking luck.

I've probably applied to over 1000 companies on LinkedIn and indeed but I had a stalking situation at my last job which led to my current unemployment. I have over 7+ years of sales, call center and customer service management, I also have a cybersecurity background and certified in cosmetic lasers.
My last job opportunity was with a contractor for NASA but I couldn't pass my clearance due to outstanding debt.

Look at your LinkedIn network and find people who work for companies you also want to work for. Reach out to them and ask for referrals.
Sorry you dealt with both the stalking and debt situations. However, you’re in control of your search so do all you can to maximize your success.

So stalking doesn’t pay well?
I was the stalked...
Ouch. Sorry, that can't be fun.
It's not fun, especially when it kind of ruined my career.
You can't let it define you. You've got the chops. Go prove it.
I did manage to score 2 interviews since posting this. Possibly 3.
what sort of help are you looking for?
Leads mostly, possibly help revamping my resume. I'm used to working 6 days a week and I'm currently unemployed so, it has me stressed.
Uhm, Best bet is to hit up some recruiter and hiring mangers inboxes
have you gotten any interviews out of those hundreds of applications? if not, your CV could need some help - if you have gotten interviews but no luck, check out some posts here on how to interview. What positions are you applying for?
I had a few, as I mentioned NASA being one of them but I kind of screwed myself with debt.
Then I've had a few interviews where they stated I was over qualified and declined.

That’s a tough one. Hard to find those entry level remote jobs now.
Is 7+ years of management considered entry level though?
Yes if you’ve never managed a team in software.
HiringCafe has 3k+ remote positions open right now. Scrapes remote only sales jobs 10k+ companies daily.
I would recommend utilizing a tool like Jobscan and then watching as many Andrew Lacivita YouTube vids as you can for helpful tips and tricks.
I too am on the job hunt and both of these drastically helped me to start getting interviews.
Best of luck out there!
