Ok... in order for me to use a 100% true resume, I need peoples opinions.
Since 1994 I have had 18 positions in 18 different companies and they were all in sales. I have ran the gammut. Many hiring employers lying about the position to make it sound much better than it was.... I just plain didnt know how to sell a product because I didnt get proper training and or I didnt have the industry background. The management was insane. I simply sucked at it for various reasons. I got layed off. Company filed for BK... company office closed. whole damn company closed. Yadda yadda yadda....
SO now I want a true resume and I dont know how to do it without someone looking at it for 2 seconds and tossing it. Ive taken jobs in the past because I need too because I was about to go homeless. Usually a poor career decision. More like desperation. But when you live alone and no supporting cast members, ya do whatcha have to do. Heck I cleaned out grease traps and dug sewers for a few months for CAYYYY-SHHHH.
Anyways.. back to heart of it all. Im wanting to WHEEEEP up a new resume that is true but 18 jobs.... 14 years..... sometimes 6 months gap between jobs.... it will be ignored by most all of the recruiters out there. ESPECIALLY if my whole background is sales and Im applying for something other than sales.
People are going to think Im a retard and maybe rightfully so I mean how could so many people say I would be really great at sales and then I look at my record? I suppose in my defense Ive been lied to, screwed over, had companies go BK... layoff... restructure.... etc.....
But still I think how in Gods name can all it happen to one guy? It just doesnt sit right with me.
