I just accepted a position with a new company doing CNC machining and programming that starts around 120k a year. I'm not sure if you consider a job sitting in the a/c pushing a button blue collar or not but it's easy money. I see you did this kind of work in the past, never thought about going back to it?

Why? You are making $21 an hour. Surely you can make more than that in a trade.
Because I’ve gotten used to not feeling like shite when I get home due to lack of sleep from overtime or physical exhaustion. Now that I’ve found out I can make more than what I used to with much less physical exertion, there’s no way I’m going back to blue collar jobs. Even if I could make more by going back blue collar, I wouldn’t want to. I want to stick with something in an office type roll or something where I can be independent and not kill myself everyday.

10+ years body shop
Seriously, learn how to write estimates for a collision shop. I know body shop managers making well over $100K a year.

I was more of an CNC operator and didn’t know anything about programming. I could do anything as far as operating the machines and indicating fixtures, but nothing beyond that. I wrote CNC machinist because it sounds better and no one else will know the difference.

If you actually know word, then make a better resume than what indeed spits out. Get on LinkedIn and network from there. There’s also plenty of networking channels to look into.
Focus on results, not tasks in your bullet points. This result by this action, add data or sales figures if you can.
Sounds like entry level sales with no college degree. You’re probably limited outside of technical sales, but get your foot in the door and you can do equipment sales/service as things pick back up.

I’m a sales manager and look at hundreds of resumes a year. I’d say you’re more of a account manager versus insides sales looking at what you have listed under duties. VMI is huge in the supply chain industry. I’d lean on that. We have folks that only do counts for vmi. We label them as inventory analyst. With that resume, you’d be hard pressed to get an actual inside sales gig(not trying to be offensive). However, supply chain seems possible.

You're at your ceiling. Stressfree, 40 hr a week jobs aren't generally in high value positions.

You better stay where you are baw. This seems like a sweet set up, don't screw that up chasing a little more money.

I know people joke about learning to code but it really isn't that difficult... You get familiar with it and generally you can google example code to get most of what you are trying to accomplish.
It's not stressful and increase your options for jobs

I don't know what kind of job you would be able to get that will allow you to work from home. My first thought is some type of management position at a hardware store or in an office.
Maybe a job in project controls?
Are you maxed out at your current position or will you get raises and is their opportunity to move up?

You have auto body experience? Have you considered working in insurance as an adjuster or appraiser? Virtual inspections are becoming more prevalent, especially since Covid, and it’s already become common to work from home. If it’s something you’re interested in, submit your resume to insurers and companies like Snapsheet.

Start befriending some of the customers whose shops you visit. Start using your connections to get a good sales or account manager position.
If you are in a large geographical market, I would look on the internet and identify every sales manager at the local ready mix concrete suppliers. Don’t send resumes. They don’t engage the hiring process that way. They will post jobs on their websites as protocol but I worked in the business for 22 years and every sales rep I ever worked with was hired either by being referred by someone or after being bold enough to just reach out to the sales manager on their own and have a conversation. So, send them an email or call. You will have an immediate leg up.
In Atlanta, a beginning rep will make a salary of about $65k with bonus incentives that can add an extra $10k. A company truck with all fuel, insurance, and maintenance taken care of. Flexible hours. Expense account of around $1000 a month for lunches, dinners, etc..
Seasoned and long term reps make low 6 figure salaries and the expense account goes way up as you take over the big accounts. My last year, I had a credit card where I could spend $6k a month if needed. The big money trips to South Dakota for pheasant hunting or expensive fishing trips to LA or to the Keys were submitted and approved by the regional President and were paid for with a check from that office. I had a $21k trip to South Dakota and a $18k trip to LA my last year, which was 2019.

Just from reading your post, I can see that you’re not happy. Would you be interested in unlimited earning potential? How would you like to be your own boss? If so, I’d love to connect and discuss an amazing opportunity that I think you’d be the perfect fit for.
