Sociopath Community

I am interviewing for a job in sales. I think my family thinks I am not a sales person. One thinks if I could not handle the stress of the job I would wind up back in the hospital. I am responding to the interview request. I have a history of quitting jobs I have felt were "beneath me".  I think it's worth trying.

The company is one where my cousin works but I am going to keep that quiet.

Please send encouragement and respond to prompt

The issue with Sales if you aren't paid hourly, but rather by commission, is that the time spent will not reflect your wages more often than not. 

Even as a good salesperson you're saddled with how much others want what you're selling, as well as how hard it is to get anyone over the phone or door to door to do anything. 

I think there is base plus commission.  I would be starting in the entry level role.

I don't have a measure for how good I am at handling rejection.

Before even making it personal, but rather over the nature of the job, it'll be a lot of it I'll tell you that much right now. 

A lot of it really depends on what you're selling, as that also judges who the target audience is. Dealing with elderly people for example is a very different market from calling young adults.
