Salesman is always be company urgent need position in the job market. A excellent salesman get high salary, but for the most of salesman, they get more pressure than other job, but the payment is not so good.So lots of people prefer other career than salesman. Me too, I am afraid of the situation if I can't get any orders. Are you a salesman? What do you think of this job?

I tried to be a salesman at a certain point and I didnt last, its a very frustrating and stressful job and being rejected by customers is emotionally heartbreaking.

What do you sold before? I can't imagine how stressful it is? But I understand, no orders, means no payment, the boss dislike, I want to find a job that can use English, but I don't want to be a foreign sales woman too, I think it is horrible. How long did you get your first order?

@CaptAlbertWhisker I did this kind of job for ten days long before, I don't feel stressful, coz only ten days, didn't get any orders was not strange. But I need to make a call to all the potential customers, 40 calls a day, not mention I need to do any other works including cleaning. Somebody even scolded me for no reason. Being rejected is not the worse part.But it is horrible and stressful too. Then what's you job now?

@Taojinmall Me too, I had graduated from university for 3 years. I found good job is hard to hunt. Your English seems very good, maybe you can consider to be a merchandiser who follow foreigner's orders. Then you don't need to find orders by yourself, but you can contact foreigners too.

@xiaohongxiaohong Not for the high salary. I always do this job after graduate from the university. And I once intended to charge the other job, but those conpany just want to hire a staff with good experience which matched their jobs. It is very hard to find a good job I like for me.

You can do what you like to do for your bread and butter but whole heartedly. Remember your work should be proper.

But sometimes, the proper job you want doesn't want you, it is too frustrated.

@sunilmishra7756 I should thank you for your "no pain no gain" motto. Even in the worst situation, I should study hard, prepare very well to wait for a chance, when it comes, I will have enough power to grab it. Pain for gain.

@xiaohongxiaohong God helps those who help themselves. There is no gain without pain. I know the pain of unemployed persons very well because my own son has been struggling for a long time. I changed a little this " No pain No gain The Pain Should Not Be Again And Again. Thanks.
