Jobs in Chicago

Sales jobs can range anywhere from retail to newspaper advertisements. A person working with retail sales can range in level from a cashier to a manager. A Sales Associate (aka account executive) with a newspaper will sell the advertisements, usually with a commission hoping to maintain a contract and growing relationship with the client.

If you are doing the actual sales pitch, very strong social skills are needed, as well as a callous to rejection. No matter what you say or do you cannot make someone buy something, only do your best to persuade them. A creative mind is advantageous. With that being said, the sales industry can sometimes be unpredictable. You will find it comes in waves, depending on outside circumstances such as the time of the year and activity going on in the area.
