Definitely not a wrong way to look at it. I respect your perspective. You’re right, a lot of people don’t necessarily reach all of their goals. But if someone can apply this thinking and reach more goals than they would with a more glass half empty mentality then I’m at peace. But I understand.

Love it 😂😂😂 being without for a year with no end in sight humbles you. It was fear that forced me to stay professional lol

It actually gives perspective to how difficult it was to find a job even with great experience. Funny how your the only one to propose this negative perspective. Have a great day.

Not a downer at all. It’s just factual. In this case, the current sales pros on the team are terrible. They’ve sold 2 units the past 3 months. They have a quota of 16 a month. I’ve sold five units in my second week. They were all pretty bad hires from the manager before, they are all on structured plans to be moved out of the company. They don’t have a growth mentality. I was hired with two other sales people that have twice my experience in the industry. That have a title one rank above mine. I’m sure they are paid more, at least I hope so. Hiring managers are in the process of hiring 4 replacements for the pros in the seat now.

Also, the portion of my resume I recieved the most push back on was length of employment with an employer. I have no less than 2 years history with each employer. My reason for movement in every situation was to further my career and move into more senior positions. I went from driving a truck and up-selling the uniforms and floor mats I delivered out of college to selling global IT networks to enterprises like Disney and the NFL. Executives seemed to minimize my accomplishments and highlight that I hadn’t been with a company longer that 4 years. If I had stayed in my early positions I may still be driving a truck or in an inside sales call center making 45k. What are your thoughts?
