In your job search it is most likely that you'll use Indeed to help you find a job. You can be looking for jobs in engineering, accounting, customer service, or even automotive, and there will be some kind of position in your results that involves sales or business development.

If you do a quick search for sales or business development jobs then there are over 3000 postings in Calgary, while most other professional jobs have only a few hundred openings.

You've probably looked at some of these jobs but have thought that you couldn't do it, or maybe you think that once you start a sales job then you are stuck doing it for your whole career. Or maybe you think that it's a dead end job that people only do if they can't get anything else.

Join us as Kim Orlesky, President of KO Advantage group, author, and speaker, talks to us about why sales and business development is a great career choice and what you should do today to prepare for the role. She'll also tell us how working in that field will get you in some of the best companies in the world.
