There is the potential for a lot of wealth, and to partner in owning the firm. They say, "We are looking to hire somebody that will be a future owner rather than just the next sales person.? College degree required.? If you believe you have the requisite skills or can demonstrate that you could be easily coached to learn the above, we would be open to talking with you.?"

I have a B.A. in Spanish and Religion Studies, graduated 3 years ago. Not directly applicable, but I write and speak well.

I have the mind for business, but not the experience. I am a fast learner and thrive in a quick-paced environment. I love research and learning about people and business.

Here is some of my experience:

Bilingual Administrative Clerk
• Held security clearance and cleared background check to handle personally identifiable information.
• Performed a variety of human resources functions, such as processing highly sensitive applicant data, auditing and transmitting payroll, fingerprinting new hires, and contacting applicants to determine level of Spanish proficiency and eligibility for federal employment.

Spanish Teacher
• Designed absorbing lessons for Spanish I and II. Promptly returned graded material.
• Engaged students in classroom activities with the appealing use of technology and games.
• Nurtured the growth of each student by closely monitoring progress and behavior.
• Maintained excellent relationships and communications with parents and administration.

Volunteer Teacher
• Led a group of children in acting and art classes at a charity-aided day camp.
• Taught students how to effectively express their emotions and resolve their conflicts.
• Created and directed a play based on the students and their interpersonal involvements.

Server
• Greeted customers with enthusiasm and served them with attentiveness.
• Remembered details about customers and made them feel at home. Handled money responsibly.
• Communicated clearly with fellow servers and kitchen staff to maintain harmony in the restaurant.

Tour Guide
• Represented the University as an exemplary student dedicated to the community.
• Received consistent positive feedback from prospective students and their families.
• Requested to guide tours for the families of the University’s most distinguished alumni.

Fund-raising Associate
• Gained monetary support for the University’s programs and projects by cold-calling alumni and parents.
• Established good rapport on the phone with meaningful conversations.
• Awarded Employee of the Month for acquiring the most bonuses.

Reservations Manager
• Coordinated reservations with offices and dealers on the phone and computer.
• Served as the bilingual office contact for Spanish-speaking customers.
• Assisted customers so that they had a pleasant experience with the company.

I am thinking that I could frame my experience in a way that highlights my presentation-giving enthusiasm, my genuine connection to people, and my conscientious communication skills.

I also have participated in activities in college and had leadership roles.

Any ideas? What should I focus on in my cover letter? Should I leave anything out of my resume (i.e. server)?

Also, do you have any idea what sort of time commitment this kind of position entails? It pays well, has the opportunity for commission, and has great benefits.

Most B2B sales jobs require B2B sales experience or at the very least sales experience. Your resume does not indicate either. This does not mean you cannot get the job of course, but you need something to show some sales attributes. I would consider adding a "relevent skills" or similar to your resume where you can highlight some sales attributes and characteristics…such as experience in negotiation, competitive (that is sales), strong relationship builder and so on to demonstrate that even though you are not an experienced sales person you do have the qualities. This should help you in the door at least.

Good luck.
