1. Determine what kind of sales you are passionate about! Online job searches will give you an idea of the salaries or commissions that sales careers provide, the stability of the market and what kind of education or licenses you must pick up to be in sales.
2. Categorize your job skills! Putting your sales skills in a category will make it easier to determine the sales fields you should be looking into. Do you have licenses that help you sell your products? Do you specialize in certain products, environments or groups of customers?
3. Sell your personality to your employer! Employers are looking for the best match, so showcase who you are through a cover letter. Cover letters give your resume a personal touch, and summarize your resume before an employer reads it.
4. Post your resumes to both large websites and small website forums! You want to give your resume as much exposure as possible to get an employer's attention.
5. Stand out from the crowd! Using different resume formats or hiring a professional to write your resume can be very helpful!
These 3 websites are a great place to start your job searching online:
Careerbuilder.com - A large website with plenty of sales jobs. Keyword search for sales jobs to find the sales position you will like. You can be overwhelmed by the amount of information a large website like this gives you access to.
Monster.com - Another large website, it is easier to search sales jobs by category here. Be sure to categorize the type of sales jobs you're interested in, that will make your search much easier.
SimplyHired.com - A smaller job forum, many employers post to these to find job seekers with more specialized experience. It can be difficult to find exactly what you're looking for by location in smaller forums.
