Unprofessional ghosting !

I have over 30 years in sales and I honestly have never since now been without a job for more than a month and I am on month 6. Honeslty sales is all I know and I am darn good at it. it isn't my fault the last two companies I worked for where horrible so I couldn't hit any quota and now no one wants to hire me. Worse some have the audacity to ghost you afte me you invest 4 or 5 interviews with them. I think I'm just about to throw in the towel and go live under a rock somewhere.

I'm sorry friend, I understand it's unbelievably frustrating.  Have you checked out the jobs tab?

Keep your chin up. Still willing to help with your resume if you can upload. Got any former colleagues at non-shitty companies who can help?

Prospect your way in, do a shit ton of research on your top companies, tap into your LinkedIn network and find a better way to say/not say your last companies sucked

For sure prospecting in for a sales role, is very underrated and under utilized

That sucks.  I have been there - seriously.  Probably why I never stop looking for my next sales gig even when I'm in a good one.  I could tell you some war stories....
All I can say is keep at it.  Finding a job is just like pursing a sales opportunity.  If you keep at it every day, do your part, you'll find it works out for you in the end.  
Good luck brother.

The grind of job hunting can be awful.   I'm sorry you are experiencing this.    You'll have to keep at it; something will come through, but the process can definitely wear you down.

Unprofessional is accurate, but an understatement.

Don't give up yet though

Come on brother... use that 30 years experience and attack the process like the pro you are.  Persistence pays off - you know that so light their phones up!

Pay to have your resume’ professionally done; watch youtube sales interview tactics, switch it up.

Finding a job is the same thing as closing the sale. You have to prospect for the company do you wanna work for. You need to connect with current employees so you can understand the business.

As you go through the interview process you need to understand information about each person that’s interviewing you.

And end each interview with this question, “based on our interviews, what would prevent me from getting hired?”

They give you a reason, take note of it. And then in your follow up email, Bring it up and include an example to which you successfully impacted their fear.

You’re at a point now where you’re starting to lose all confidence in yourself. I can tell it in your typing. Your confidence is vital to landing a job - Do everything you can to forget the past interviews and approach each one as you already have the job

Treat this as a enterprise deal, it’s taking a longer time to close, but you still have to put in the effort (which we know you are) to bring it across the finish line. Use your Ali network, former co-workers, and so on to keep pushing towards that finish line.

Don’t give up! What about companies you sold to in the past? Any other past connections or relationships you can leverage?
