You mention sales experience, I had a buddy from Hattiesburg that did sales for a company that sold to large chemical plants in the Hattiesburg area. I know that is super vague but I'll try to find the company name.
He died from the Covid last year or else I would ask him directly.
Also, would you be interested in moving to the coast or working in Slidell and living in pearl river county ms? There's a ton of work and Hattiesburg is straight up 59 form there
ETA: Hill manufacturing inc and MI fluid power solutions are the companies he worked for in the last couple years in and around the Hattiesburg area
