Unemployment levels are at their highest for a generation, however, Office Angels, has urged jobseekers to look beyond basic salary offered for a role. They are also urging jobseekers to consider all of the other benefits that come with a job.
This advice has come in response to new date from Office Angels and mysalarychecker.com, which has revealed that sales and telesales roles are in high demand across all industries.
This is because all companies look for successful salespeople to help position their business for future growth.
Although in comparison to general staffing administrative roles, sales salaries are at the lower end, salespeople and telesales advisors can earn a considerable amount through commission and bonus schemes.
David Clubb, MD of Office Angels told HR Magazine: “Next year is undoubtedly going to be incredibly tough, and jobseekers are going to have to be more flexible when applying for jobs. Candidates shouldn’t just look at the salary of any given role but also consider the wider package and where the job may lead in terms of future opportunities. Commission, bonuses and other benefits can boost a mediocre salary and ensure that take-home pay is much higher.
“Our data shows that there are plenty of advertised vacancies available, although the large pool of jobseekers in the UK means that there will be strong competition for roles. Being prepared to accept a lower salary and then work hard to supplement that through performance-related pay can help candidates widen their search. Sales roles can also be crucial to career development, helping people who are new to the workforce to develop transferable skills which can help them in their future careers.”
