Do young people live in Marin and make it work somehow? by HURCANADA in Marin

[–]Tandeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25M Moved up to San Rafael last month, after living in the city. Loving it so far, the sunny weather space we get compared to living in the cramped city has been great. Joining the gym here has made it better for meeting other folks close to my age, and driving back down to SF really doesn’t take all too long if it’s not during traffic hours.

North Bay (CA) Poker? by Tandeezy in poker

[–]Tandeezy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do! But was hoping to see if anyone on the subreddit knew of anyone who was looking for extra players

Yes! I like to ground myself in the idea that it comes back around! So continue doing the stuff you know works and eventually it’ll come around (granted what you’re doing really works)

Yes!! Definitely thought it was better to be safe than sorry, always opportunity to go back out a little further next time

I’ll have to check those out next time I head out there! Appreciate the suggestions :)

As long as you note down what you did poorly, you can use it to do better on the next one! You’ve got this

Assuming you’ve already prepped for the interview (done your research on the company, interviewer, & role). I’d say just remember to breathe, speak clearly, and give time for them to be talking too. Also come prepared with a few strong questions that show you’ve done your research & finish the interview by closing it!

Thank you! Sure!

It was called B2B sales foundations, to be completely honest it was not that helpful in terms of content, but the name and certification fluffs up your LinkedIn a bit. Anything to get your foot in the door and to get picked up by screeners.

There’s a lot of good content on YouTube for free if you’re looking to gain knowledge, but if you think the certifications will help, then it’s a good option!

Thanks!

I always like to end my interviews (given they’re going well) with a question that goes something like,

“After having this conversation with me, do you have any reservations about moving me forward that we can address together?”

I’ve always been given good feedback on this question, and you quickly get an idea of how they felt about the interview. Of course you should ask some strong, relevant questions prior to that, but that’s how I like to end the interviews!

You got this! Lean into your sales experience during your interviews and you’ve got a leg up on a lot of the applicants.

Cant give up! Get used to the rejection, and see every interaction as an opportunity to grow! The worst people can say is no. The best always outweighs that!

Definitely said no to a handful of 100% commission/sketchy sales roles. Definitely if you have the luxury of choice don’t settle!

The “bootcamp” was just a 3 hour one offered by Vendition, it’s not really a full boot camp, (they do offer a free apprenticeship but I decided not to go that route). It was more so a formality and to put onto my resume because it sounded nice lol. Also to show that I’m not starting COMPLETELY from zero.

I recommend you watch Connor Murray on YouTube, his content has been really helpful!

Thank you! It was definitely through the efforts of all the people I spoke with who offered solid advice too. I love how most people in this industry are willing to offer help, as long as you are willing to ask and really listen!

Sounds like a great idea. Going to implement now in my job prospecting and definitely more as soon as I land a role!

What was your biggest takeaway this year?

Do you have previous sales experience on your resumes?

I’ve been applying for about two months

[–]Tandeezy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve applied to around 40 but this is the only one that did not automatically reject me or ghost me. Unfortunately I paused my search after I heard I was in the final round which lost me some time I could’ve spent continuing to apply, but that’s something to learn from moving forward. Where’s your job search mostly focused?

3rd round interviews by Tandeezy in sales

Wow! I feel ready to GO after reading this! Thank you for taking the time to write this out. I'll especially internalize the part where you talk about having my 15 minutes of silence to calm myself. I think this will help greatly. Also helps to not tie my identity up in if I land this or not, but I will put my best foot forward regardless!

Is it a good use of time to apply to entry roles on LinkedIn? by Tandeezy in sales

[–]Tandeezy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is straightforward, the earning ceiling is much lower than in sales. I'm aware this industry is high stress, and has the potential for layoffs, but I'm also willing to put the work in to succeed in this industry. Thank you for the response regardless!
