What have you done for me lately?
December 27th, 2007 by the medical sales recruiter
As the year winds down, you might be reflecting on what you’ve accomplished this year at work and in your life. Whether you’re looking for a job in research and laboratory sales or pharmaceutical sales or not (yet), it’s a great idea from BullsEyeResumes to start a “Kudos folder” for yourself: think about all you’ve done this year (Christmas newsletter, anyone?), but focus on work and write it down–problems, responses, results. Also, contact people who are familiar with your work and ask if they would send a quick e-mail to you about your work with them. Those become a great source of information for your resume, material for answers to interview questions, and a confidence booster for you.
I think it’s a great idea for everyone to have their own board of directors, those people who know you and can help keep you focused on what you’re doing right…and where you may be going astray. It can be a tough world out there, and knowing that there are people who trust who have your back is of real value.

Love it! What a great idea. I often find that people are quick to complain about when things are going badly but not quick enough to appreciate when things are going well. My first step after this post is to make myself my very own Kudos folder and keep any complimentary emails that I receive.
