The Secret to Standing Out in Your Medical Sales Job Search – Part I

I’m starting a new 6-part series on how to stand out in your medical revenue job search.  Pharmaceutical sales jobs are very competitive, top-tier sales positions that require a lot from candidates–whether you’re in clinical devices, clinical revenue, laboratory sales, imaging revenue, surgical sales, medical sales, or any health care sales arena.  The economic upheaval in general and the shakeups in the pharmaceutical industry in particular haven’t helped matters at all.  You’ve really have to bring your game in order to be successful and land the job.

So what’s your first step?

Tip #1:  Rethink Your Career opportunity Search

Most career opportunity seekers don’t understand that the job search is a revenue process, even if your job has nothing to do with sales:  you want an employer to hire you, which essentially means to buy your product (that would be you).  So here are the questions you must ask yourself:

• Why should he buy your skills and talents over someone else’s?
• What benefits can you offer?
• What makes you different from other products?
• Where do you “fit” in the marketplace?
• With this in mind, is your resume acting as the marketing brochure that it should be?

Strategically analyzing these issues and constructing compelling answers to these queries is the first major step toward your goal.
