If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.What’s your brand?
Employers and recruiters do research medical sales, healthcare sales, medical device sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, cellular and molecular products sales, biotech sales, and pharmaceutical sales candidates online to get more information about them before an offer is presented. This can work against you if your MySpace page is filled with “party” pics (or worse), but it can work for you if you have an effective online persona.
Web Worker Daily rounds up several tips for developing an effective online presence:
- Check your Google profile. What comes up when your name gets typed in? Know what’s out there so you don’t get suprised.
- Own your domain name. Even if you don’t want to do something with it now, you might later.
- Develop your personal brand. Set up a LinkedIn profile. Write a blog. Be a guest writer on blogs specific to your industry (maybe you could write a post for me – describing your job, etc). If you’re not sure what personal branding is or how to do it, there’s a lot available out there. Here’s 3 articles to get you started:
