Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips

OK, so today I called a promising candidate about a biotech marketing position, and got a voicemail message.  Not a bad thing, except that the candidate had apparently let her 3-year old record it.  Charming for the grandparents, not so charming for potential employers and medical sales recruiters.  Job searches are about marketing yourself, first impressions, and good communication.  The interview process starts with that first contact, so your contact phone needs to have a voice mail greeting that sounds professional, not cute.  No annoying music, either.  Remember the KISS principle:  Keep It Simple, Sweetie.
