Sales roles that should be avoided?

[Rob13]

Just seeking out sales roles (B2B preferably) at the moment. Are there any areas (i.e insurance/double glazing in the B2C) that I should be avoiding? Its difficult as a lot of these recruitment companies dont actually list what trade the company is in. Some seem to be rather generic sales adverts and could relate to anything!

Most brewery based companies are struggling at the moment (Inbev, Coors, S & N etc). Food (my area) is doing good, certainly alot better than last year. Medical companies seems to be recruiting again.

Not 100% on other industries. You need to work with a product that you have some interest in.
