There have been significant layoffs across many industries this year, but especially in tech. What advice would you give a sales rep to help them bounce back after losing their job?

Question

Answer

network, network, network! People are more willing to help than most realize!

Answer

The best return on investment is the one you make in yourself. Learning new skills after a layoff will help not only in the next job search, but also help in building your own confidence.

Answer

I agree with Amelia Taylor. Others may not realize you lost your job and why. --and if you want a new job, wanted to &#34;lose&#34; that job or just need a break, so people will help if you ask.

Answer

Looking for a job is simply selling your own skills! Many of the same skills a sales rep has from their sales experience will apply to finding a new job.

Some of these skills include investing in your own growth, ensuring you have a robust personal presence online, building relationships with people and gaining their trust (networking!), and talking with many companies. Also, don't waste any of the shots you take because any interaction may be the one that will lead to a new role! Always give it your best. Do your homework on the industry, role, company, and hiring team and convince them that they cannot afford to pass you up!

Answer

NETWORK! 100%

Answer

Network like crazy and get your mental health right. Process what happened, take some time to yourself, and apply those sales skills to networking! How? Block off an hour or two a day to networking and work on yourself and your well-being the rest. With some skill, you'll be back in a job in no time

Answer

100% Networking! However, this assumes the sales rep has been building strong relationships well in advance.

Answer

You can network your buns off but you STILL need a great resume!! You want one that you feel proud to send out and that adequately communicates how amazing you are with DATA and IMPACT!
