One of the many reasons I'll never use Monster to find a job
Melanie,Thanks for your message. Although, I must admit, I'm at a bit of a loss. What portion of my resume, exactly, leads you to believe that I would be interested in a sales position with your company, or any company for that matter?
In fact, the more I consider this query, the more perplexed I become. Is it hot in here?
Had I known that more than 10 years of branding, marketing, and marketing communications experience was going to serve as the foundation for garnering a sales position, I would have never engaged in such foolhardy pursuit.
Although, I must admit, not having to take calls until after 9 AM does have a certain appeal.
Wow. I feel like a bit of a rube. What was I thinking? In fact, if you'll excuse me for a moment, I think I need to stop what I'm doing this instant, take a few moments, and seriously reconsider my career path. I'm feeling a bit disoriented. Do you hear a high-pitched whine?
Okay, I'm back.
Please advise as to what portion of my resume said "salesperson" to you, so I can correct this misnomer and save others from further confusion.
I'd appreciate any advice you can provide.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
