> you are not creative and proactive enough
> you are not upbeat enough
> you are not sufficiently self-motivated
> we want people passionate about our business
> we aspire to hire people with leadership skills

just WTF, I am applying for low-pay, entry-level jobs in web design and app development. I was told as long as I fulfill the technical requirements and act nice I would be fine.
WTF is this shit, I have read personal development books and trained by talking to people and making new contacts and apparently I am still a depressing sobber who is not upbeat and sociable enough. I don't even know how the fuck to become a person with leadership skills or how to fool them into thinking I am passionate about something I am doing basically to survive.

Learn how to lie. Lie through your fucking teeth, selling the most garbage cliche shit you can imagine. Masturbate to the sound of your senseless words and pretend you really mean it. When you get the job, act professional, be productive and then when you're doing projects tell your social co-workers to fuck off. After getting your first entry-level job it's pretty easy to lead the interview.

The industry is being taken over by the agreeable late adopters. If you are this disagreeable, look for where the field is still dominated by men (crypto / ai are two) and work with them based on merit.
Anywhere with early adopters in a questionable new field works wonders to filter out the normies, somehow.

[Anonymous No.9790226]

I am already on that. When they tell me the dev team likes so and so (say football and CoD) I know enough of those subjects to pretend I like those things (even tho I dislike them) well enough I pass that part of the test where they measure how well you'd fit in with the rest of the staff (which I personally think is complete bullshit, just because I don't like all the pastimes of my co-workers doesn't mean we are going to be at odds or slack off).
But I truly have no idea how to successfully pretend to be more creative or to act like a leader, I don't why they need me to be a leader just to be above the unpaid interns. So far I have not yet found what exactly qualifies as creative for these HR people. I pretend to have photography as a hobby, sometimes I am even asked about my Instagram of all things. I have tweaked CSS libraries and made my own to show I can create things from either a base or from scratch, but whatever these niggers think is creative is beyond me.

I am being incredibly agreeable
Like, I have picked up acting books and gone through the method acting techniques
I get befriended by coffee shop staff and even randos at the supermarket, and this is all a farce.
I am getting quite anxious because I cannot think how could I be more upbeat and friendly without becoming some random genki anime idol.
It is also hard to keep it cool and pretend to have genuine, authentic, deep passion for a business all the while knowing I need to land a job to keep the lights on another month.
I had read about the places I interviewed for beforehand, and if I know anyone inside (friend of a friend or whatever) I try to chat them up, ask them about the company.
The situation is maddening to say the least.

I always knew I wanted to be in sales so while I was in uni I planned accordingly

some things I did to boost my resume
>2 summers door to door sales
>1 summer inbound sales position upselling customers
>put toast masters on your resume
>put faux chad shit that looks like you have good charisma on your resume
>Absolutely murder interviews by acting turbo chad even if you're faking

SaaS sales is basically selling your companies software
thats how you get the job. Most SaaS sales jobs work like this
>6 months you are "business development rep"
this means you are calling a fuck load of leads that are generated by marketing department
your goal is to book demos for the account executive
>account executive is doing the real sales
this guy holds demos BDR booked for him
this guy makes all the money - BDR is bitch work

I was really lucky and found a job where I got to skip being BDR because the company is so small they cannot afford having BDRs and Account Executives.

B2B sales is easy - read "the challenger sale".

I know, I have a portfolio of 10 recent (none older than 2017) websites I have made as a freelancer (for photographers, artists, interior designers, personal coaches, dog walkers, etc...)
for the 3 most recent ones I managed to talk the owners into letting me take before and after screenshots, to show how much better the site looks, that it is smartphone compatible, that the text is now more readable, and the layout more approachable
I am getting into traffic analytics so that I will be able to show the better design has turned into greater traffic which probably correlates somehow with more money for the owners. I guess so, I am not that far into that topic.

I actually got a business degree and am not very technical. I invite devs/engineers to sales calls where I know the client will be asking technical questions.

Idk about IT consulting. I have a friend who does consulting for amazon businesses and he charges about $200 an hour and makes bank.

I think you can make a lot of money consulting as long as you find a very small niche and dominate it or become an "expert" in it.
