Resume strategy
Detroit sales resumes: show the work behind your results
A sales resume should help a hiring manager understand what you sold, who you served, and how you worked. A number becomes useful when the reader can see the responsibility behind it.
READ ARTICLE ↗Career paths
Starting a sales career in Michigan without a sales job title
You do not need to describe every past job as sales to explain why you could succeed in a customer-facing role. Start with evidence of listening, reliability, learning, and follow-through.
READ ARTICLE ↗Career paths
Inside or outside sales: compare the working day before applying
Inside and outside sales can involve very different schedules, customer interactions, and travel. Comparing the day-to-day work is more useful than choosing a title that sounds appealing.
READ ARTICLE ↗Career paths
Account management careers: questions that reveal the real role
An account manager title can describe relationship management, new sales, service coordination, or a blend of all three. Candidates should clarify which responsibilities the employer is assigning.
READ ARTICLE ↗Interview preparation
Business development interviews: explain how you find opportunities
Business development candidates benefit from showing a repeatable process. A recruiter needs to understand how you identify a relevant prospect, begin a conversation, and decide what should happen next.
READ ARTICLE ↗Leadership
Moving into sales management: prepare evidence of coaching
Being a strong individual seller and helping a team perform are different responsibilities. A management interview is a chance to explain how you support other people's work.
READ ARTICLE ↗Offer checklist
Before accepting a sales offer, ask how compensation works
An advertised earning figure is not enough to compare sales opportunities. Ask the employer to explain the fixed and variable parts of compensation in writing before making a decision.
READ ARTICLE ↗Job fair preparation
A 30-second introduction for your next Detroit job fair
A useful introduction gives a recruiter enough information to begin a conversation. It identifies the work you want, a relevant strength, and a question about the employer's needs.
READ ARTICLE ↗Career paths
From customer service to sales: explain the connection
Customer service experience can offer relevant evidence for sales work. The strongest explanation connects what you already do to the new role without suggesting that the jobs are identical.
READ ARTICLE ↗Leadership
Retail sales leadership: turn store experience into clear examples
Retail candidates often manage competing priorities in real time. A leadership application should make those responsibilities visible through specific examples of service, coordination, and team support.
READ ARTICLE ↗Workplace skills
CRM skills: describe what you can actually do
Listing a customer relationship management system on a resume is only the beginning. Employers need to understand which tasks you performed and how accurately you maintained information.
READ ARTICLE ↗Career paths
Remote sales roles: clarify the conditions before applying
Remote does not always mean flexible hours or permission to work from any location. A useful job search separates the workplace arrangement from the responsibilities and schedule.
READ ARTICLE ↗Interview preparation
Sales interview role-plays: ask before you pitch
A role-play can show how you listen and organize a conversation. Instead of racing into a pitch, first clarify the customer, the situation, and the purpose of the exercise.
READ ARTICLE ↗Job fair preparation
After a Michigan job fair: turn your notes into next steps
The most useful follow-up begins with accurate notes. Record the employer, role, application route, and any instructions while you still remember the conversation.
READ ARTICLE ↗For employers
Hiring sales professionals: write a posting candidates can evaluate
A strong sales job posting explains the work and the employment offer clearly enough for a candidate to assess fit. Specific information also gives recruiters a better starting point for interviews.
READ ARTICLE ↗For employers
A practical interview scorecard for sales hiring
A consistent set of job-related questions can help a hiring team compare evidence. Build the interview around the responsibilities of the role rather than general impressions of confidence.
READ ARTICLE ↗For employers
Recruiting a sales team at a job fair: prepare the conversation
An exhibitor table works best when recruiters know which positions they are discussing and can give interested candidates a clear next step. Prepare the information before the event begins.
READ ARTICLE ↗For employers
Sales onboarding: build a first month around learning and practice
A new salesperson needs more than a product brochure and a target. A practical onboarding plan explains the customer, the workflow, and the support available while the employee learns.

From the magazine: make the recruiter conversation count
A job fair gives you a chance to turn a broad search into a specific conversation. Arrive ready to learn what the employer needs and how to take the next step.
READ ARTICLE ↗Magazine feature
From the magazine: the job ad is the first interview
Before a candidate meets a recruiter, the posting has already introduced the employer. Give that first encounter something useful to say.
