re: Fresh out of college, no real-world experience, no specialized degree. Salary expectation?

Thx, Meansonny - but a followup observation.

I think it would be fair to say that in my humble opinion, any company that

a) hires that many sales people on an ongoing basis
b) interviews over 150 candidates a year
c) only hires one or two of them

Then this tells me that the core hiring philosophy is bunged up somehow. There are improvements to be made. Also, if there is that much churn, then something is fundamentally wrong with either compensation or the management interaction.

And frankly, by my way of thinking, sales positions are among the easiest to weed out bad candidates. I am seriously surprised that a better strategy has not been implemented.


Finally... LOL... receiving several down votes for making some reasonable observations?

Will Cover, I think I figured out where your recruiters are goofing off when they are not doing their dang job.
