my CV for Sales Rep Job

[headsortails]

What's a KAM?

[MaKas]

Key Accounts Manager

[Lou_smorals]

Hi
I hope everything goes ok but I have worked as a Sales Manager for the last 15 years, for 3 different companies - one with over 70 reps and I have never known one at 19yrs old, trainee or not. I believe that the company insurance for a rep under 21yrs driving a company car is an a fortune.
If you are unsuccessful on this occasion I would suggest you spend the next couple of years working in the business you later want to sell into.
hope this helps

I wanted to be a pimp in my younger days.. but was told I need to shag more women before I would get the job

Seriously though, that's good advice mate.. whilst I hope Makas gets the job, there is a lot going against him in a constructive way (not critism); age, experience, product knowledge etc.

[MaKas]

Its legit... i have no way of proving it but atleast i know. Ive been told unofficially I have the job. I got the phone call to meet the Managing Director on Wednesday in sunderland before 12:00 midday. Im a tad nervous... wish me luck!

[Lou_smorals]

Hi
well done m8, I take it that its not a field position then - as insurance for you to drive a company car under 21 is so expensive no company can find this viable when they can hire an older more experienced guy for less money.
Perhaps this is one of those "reps" jobs where you get paid commision only on a self employed basis and use your own vehicle- if this is the case if/when you tell your insurance company that your car is for business u will see why I said what I said.
good luck though
cheers

How did the meeting go?

[MaKas]

Both meetings went fantastic... I need to be living in Liverpool before Nov 1st (i think its a wednesday which is weird i know)

In other words... I got the Job

thanks for the help everyone and al keep ya posted on things that happen and hopefullyget help when i run into problems because i probably will haha

the next step is im moving into a house with other people (not my girlfriend just yet) My mam n dad have loaned me £2000 to get myself started so hopefully everything will run smoothly. Im aiming for being there in 2 weeks... fingers crossed.

[Lou_smorals]

Hi
so how did car work m8, you got to provide your own or what? because insurance for a reps car is unbelievable, and thats for over 21.
cheers
LS

[MaKas]

ive been told that i need to get the metro to moorfields on my first day and that my car will be waiting for me there. Its a Ford Mondeo 2.0 Turbo Diesel. Its ok. Tax man will have me tho... as for insurance i have no idea.

[maverick_15]

Congratulations.

[Lou_smorals]

Hi
congratulations m8, they must really rate you as this will cost them well over double what an over 21 would have cost. you have a similar size car to mine and my tax on that is declared as earning on my P11D (or whatever it called) at about £2,500 for car and another £2,500 for fuel so I get taxed as if I earned another £5000(so about £110 per month extra tax).
but you should feel proud as you must have made an impression as they could have got an older more experienced rep for less.
cheers
LS

[MaKas]

thanks very much! yeah i put alot of effort in to make a gd impression like... he didnt expect ALOT since i was 19 but i like to think of myself as a gd salesman and I can talk to ANYONE lol very confident and polite so hope i do well

I guess I could use some tips on how to hold a Job... Like key points to remember what to do and not to do to help me with the job lol

[SoundOfFaz]

It surprises me that a CV that bad, both visually and in terms of content, didn't get thrown straight into the bin.

I mean, come on man, you keep pointing out you are "only 19", well call me old fashioned but surely it can be expected for a 19 year old to be at least half literate.

Ohm and I don't like the "5 D's" one little bit

Tips on what to do and what not to do????

Between me and you, have you really ever been to work?

[BertRoot]

You must feel like it is Proper Crimbo!! I like SOF above am truly sceptical that his is all shit and you are living on Fantasy Island or the firm have no vision for their future.

That was in the back of my mind, is this just a load of bollocks?

Is it like this guy is pretending that he has his dream job so he can pretend he is "successful" over the net?

When really, he just isn't?

[CzarJunkie]

Some of our older members will remeber jonathant, who on IRC used to weave some magical tales of his penthouse flat in manchester, company Merc and expensive hotel stays in London drinking champers on teh company's cash.

Det and I were sus because he was a right tool, so Det being Det he found out his phone number. I called one night to be greeted by his mum, when I asked to speak to Jonathan, she said "He's just gone out on his skateboard".

True story.................. fuck me we howled for days......

[cyprus]

I'm sure Makas will be more than happy to post a pic of his new Mondeo TDi company car parked outside Moorfields station on his first day to prove you all wrong.

[marcode]

this is a wind up surely lol..

19 years old and they are giving you a mondeo.. fair play to you if you arent talking bollox...

..but whoever approved a 2 litre car for a 19 year old sales rep with zero experience and a cv that reads like a secondary school leaver is clearly off their fucking head and will soon be declaring bankruptcy.
