What to Look for In a Great Medical Sales Interview Coach

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:18:43 +0000

Today’s job search is unlike any we’ve seen before. Competition is especially fierce for medical sales jobs in this economy, and candidates get weeded out quickly. If you’ve landed the interview, you have to bring your best game right off the bat and knock the socks off the hiring manager. One of the most effective ways to become an all-star candidate is to hire an interview coach. Individualized coaching takes your personal work history and talents into account and customizes solutions for you.

How do you discover a great interview coach? Look for someone who specializes in clinical and health care sales with lots of experience. Look for testimonials from other clients, and take advantage of the consultation that they (should) offer. If you discover someone with the right credentials that you feel you can work with comfortably, you’re wonderful to go.

What should you look for? A really great interview coach will get to the bottom of your problem as quickly as possible. They won’t wanna waste your time or money, and will be interested in helping you land the job you want. They’ll wanna help you identify your goals and pinpoint the areas you got to improve.

You’ll probably get some homework to do on your own, like books to read or specific changes to make to your RESUME. It’s great if they can help you arrange a job-shadowing experience, and help you incorporate the keywords you’ll gain from that experience into your new resume. And they should help you role-play interview questions.

But the best thing about interview coaching is that it’s personalized. A great coach won’t have a standard plan they make everyone adhere to—they’ll customize the plan to what you need to be a winning candidate, whether you’re in medical devices, medical revenue, pharmaceuticals, or hospital or surgical equipment.

A worthy coach won’t make you insane promises, but he or she will want you to succeed as badly as you do, and will give you the tools, training, and expertise to make it happen.

I offer clinical sales interview coaching, but you don’t have to work with me. Research what you can expect from a pharma sales interview coach, and make your decision. It’s an investment in yourself and your career that will pay off for you.

Medical Revenue Job Interview and Preparation Coaching

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:10:14 +0000

Did you ever wish you had the “inside track” at your pharma sales career opportunity interview? Or that you knew exactly how to explain that slightly difficult/embarrassing/sensitive situation in your position history? Or even the very best way to explain who you’re and what you do in a compelling, “hire me” kind of way? Maybe you’re getting interviews, but you know that something’s not going quite right because you’re not getting called back for the second one.

What’s your solution?

Hire an interview coach.

Interview coaching is an unexpected alternative for many health care sales candidates. There are so many articles you can find online about position interview preparation (including all the pharmaceutical sales job tips on this blog) that it can seem just as easy (and cheaper) to just do it yourself.

But, an interview coach can take you beyond what you can accomplish yourself—providing an expert, unbiased insight addressing your individual situation, examining your job history and personality to help you devise the best way to position yourself in the interview, and even role-playing interview queries with you. It’s important that you get one who knows your field and that you’re comfortable working with….but once you do, you’re set. It is an investment, but it’s one that will pay off as soon as you land the position you’ve been chasing.

Maybe you’re not having too many problems but you realize you could be just a little bit better. It’s gaining that extra edge that turns a competitor into a champion. Pro athletes know that—that’s why they hire coaches, too.

Interview coaching can help you with confidence and presence, communication skills, your wording and emphasis in your answers to typical career opportunity interview questions. You’ll learn to customize your answers to fit your individual situation and stand out from the “standard” answers everyone else gives. Coaching can also help you master the all-important closing (asking for the career opportunity) at the end of the interview.

Don’t spin your wheels trying to handle this difficult job market on your own. Get smart, and get a coach who can help you get on the road to success!

You can check out what I offer as a career coach here: http://www.phcconsulting.com/interview-coaching/. I’m not saying you’ve to hire me, but you can get more ideas on what an interview coach can help you with. I’ve helped many candidates land great positions faster than they could have imagined with just a little career coaching help, and I really believe it’s a great solution for every candidate. Best of luck.
