Careers in Sales

Contemplating a career in sales? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve collected advice on nailing the sales job search—from selling yourself with a stellar resume to preparing for sales-specific interview questions—as well as info on basics like commission and bonuses and tips for getting ahead once you land the job. We’ve also asked folks already working in sales to share how they got where they are, what their jobs and companies are like, and what advice they have to give.

Get advice from sales and marketing professionals working at McDonald’s, Spectrum, Enterprise Holdings, and Subaru in this video from the third event in our Career Conversations series, How to Find (and Land) a Job in Sales & Marketing.
