What You Really Need to Get Hired in Legal Sales (and Why Resume Experience Isn’t Enough) [ep 14]
Description
In this episode of UnderOath, the Rankings.io revenue team tears down one of the most common beliefs in hiring: that traditional experience—job titles and résumé bullets—predicts success.
Hosts Scott Knudson (Senior Director of Sales Enablement), Zach Ramey (SVP of Revenue), and Cole Castleberry (VP of Sales) make the case for something different: lived experience, self-awareness, and the ability to tell your story clearly are far better indicators of performance in legal sales.
