Sales jobs need 'intense focus'
People who want to impress companies when applying for sales jobs need to make sure they are properly prepared, according to one newspaper which added that during the recession being ready is even more important.
The Mirror said that getting a sales job is a job in itself and it highlighted tips given by the Careers Advice Service, which included researching the company and standing out from other candidates.
It stated: "Find out as much as you can about the company you have your interview with. Check out its website to get the lowdown on what it does and how it operates."
The newspaper added that body language is also very important and that candidates should try to avoid fidgeting in their seat and should try to maintain a good level of eye contact.
Michael Erwin, a senior career adviser for CareerBuilder.com, recently told the Charlotte Observer that wearing the right clothes to a sales jobs interview can stand a candidate in good stead.
