Don’t do it srs.

I’m a 99th percentile introvert (so basically an autist) and the most miserable years of my adult life were when I held a sales job. It was absolute fuking hell. That high pressure environment of cucking yourself to push BS products and dealing with new customers while your managers are breathing down your back to hit the quota, all of that chit will destroy your soul.

If you must, go into it to make fast money with an exit plan.

Preparing for the interview is key. Practice talking about your strengths and experiences, and think of examples that demonstrate your sales skills. Also, show enthusiasm for the role and research the company beforehand. You got this! 🌞

If you're socially capable, then you may do well with it. But you're probably not going to find much satisfaction in sales. It will mentally drain you. Pure exhaustion. Regardless of success rate.

You might be setting yourself up for failure, bud. Maybe look into something else? Are you in a tough situation where you need employment asap? If not, just keep looking, something will eventually pop.

Chad salesmen can sniff out autist introverts with ease. You won't get the job
