Stop Playing the Job Hunt Lottery

Sending resumes into the void? Getting ghosted after interviews? Welcome to the club nobody wants to join.

Here's how meritt turns your job hunt from tragedy into comedy (with a happy ending).

1. Ditch the Resume Robots 🤖

Regular job sites use robots that reject you for weird reasons. We use smart AI that actually looks for sales potential, not just buzzword bingo.

2. Show Your Face (It's Pretty!)

Upload a video intro instead of another boring PDF. Let them see you're not a robot pretending to be human.

3. Get Real Feedback (What a Concept!)

We tell you exactly what happened within 48 hours. No more wondering if your application fell into a digital black hole.

4. Take Tests That Make Sense

We check if you're curious, coachable, determined, and can actually talk to humans. You know, sales stuff.

5. Meet Companies That Aren't Weird

We only work with companies that actually want to hire people. Revolutionary, we know.

6. Learn While You Look

Get free sales training and interview tips. Turn waiting time into winning time.

7. Know What's Happening

No mystery status updates. We tell you exactly where things stand because we're not monsters.

8. Get Matched Like Dating (But for Jobs)

Our AI finds roles you'll actually like instead of just whatever's available.

9. Interview Like a Pro

We coach you on what sales managers really want to hear. Spoiler: it's not "I'm a people person."

10. Join the Cool Kids Club

Connect with other sales people who don't hate their job search anymore.

Ready to Stop Sucking at Job Hunting?

Traditional job hunting is like trying to get a date by shouting at strangers in the grocery store. It's weird, it doesn't work, and everyone feels uncomfortable.

At meritt, we focus on what actually matters in sales: can you learn, can you communicate, and do you give up when things get tough? If yes, we'll help you find companies smart enough to hire you.

Stop wasting time. Start getting results.

FAQs

How can I jumpstart my sales career without experience?
Show the four sales superpowers: curiosity, coachability, grit, and communication. At meritt, we've helped teachers, bartenders, and customer service reps land sales jobs because they had the right mindset. Companies care more about whether you can learn and grow than whether you've sold before. Prepare stories that show you're curious about problems, open to feedback, and don't quit when things get hard.
What's the fastest way to get noticed by sales hiring managers?
Stop hiding behind your resume. Record a quick video showing your personality and energy. At meritt, candidates with video profiles get way more interviews because hiring managers can see you're a real human with actual communication skills. A 60-second video explaining why you're excited about sales beats a perfect resume every time.
Why do most sales job applications disappear into thin air?
Because most companies use dumb robots that reject good people for stupid reasons. These systems care about keywords, not potential. That's why meritt built smarter AI that looks for actual sales traits instead of just scanning for buzzwords. Result: better matches for everyone and fewer tears.
How do I know if a recruitment platform actually helps candidates?
Simple test: do they give you real feedback and help you improve? At meritt, every candidate gets detailed feedback within 48 hours because we're not jerks. If a platform won't tell you how you did or what to work on, they don't actually care about your success. Find better humans to work with.
