	Job change has led to apathy about work and I'm worried where this is going. Any tips to get back on track? I switched companies a year ago but I have been doing the same technical sales job for a while. Now, the job remained the same but the technology I sell is different and even though I have 15+ years experience in this field, it seems like an uphill battle to learn this stuff. I have the capability to learn it but I feel tired and like it is a lot of effort to do so. Work has been slow and managment has had a lot of changes. I guess over the summer, all of this has left me with a lot of apathy about my work which is 180 degrees (my wife use to fuss at me because I put work ahead of family) of where I have been. You would think that I'd be doing more around the house and with the family but I think I'm slipping the wrong way. I just don't feel like doing much of anything. I am mid-thirties and ADHD (hypoactive) but I'm pretty sure my meds are still working. I feel like something is overpowering them instead of them not working. Any tips to getting me on the right track? 8 answers - Asked By: Sway - 8/24/2007

	What does a person working in Technical Sales Support in a financial services company do? I've applied for this as a Technical Sales Support (entry-level) job role and they give very little job information. The company is a financial planning firm. I have A-levels only and I have been invited for an interview for it. They will explain it further in the interview, but for obvious reasons I am extremely ardent to know what the job would entail before hand!. 1 answer - Asked By: shara - 3/20/2013

	Can you offer any resume advice that will help me grab an employers attention for a sales position? I have spent over 15 years working in customer service. All of working experience has been in retail sales and support. Over the past 8 yeas I have been working in Technical Support, IT Support and Network Support. All I know these days is how to work with customers to resolve technical problems. Now I want to break into Technical Sales, but without the inside/outside sales experience I am not sure how to grab an employer’s attention. I am confident enough with my customer service skills and am an excellent communicator, but I do lack the “Sales” experience.
