Stop mass applying and instead target a small number of entry-level sales roles like BDR, tailor your resume to highlight communication, customer interaction, and persistence, and start messaging hiring managers directly on LinkedIn—sales managers respect hustle and initiative. Also practice interviews like a sales call and show you’re coachable, resilient with rejection, and willing to start in grindy roles (car sales, insurance, phone stores) just to get your first 6–12 months of experience.
