Job Search Tip: Complete the Entire Job Application
October 10, 2008 · Posted in Clinical Diagnostics, HealthCare Sales, HealthCare Sales Jobs, Imaging Sales, Laboratory Sales, Medical Sales, Medical Sales Job Search, Medical Sales Recruiting, Pathology Sales Jobs, Pharmaceutical Sales, Research Products, Resumes
Latest story: A hiring manager I am working with in medical sales asked for a completed job application, rather than just a resume. The job is a 65 -75k base, with another 45k up for grabs in commissions. Nothing to sneeze at, surely. When the manager reviewed the application, he discovered that the candidate didn’t fill out the references area or any of the money questions. (You do leave this stuff off a resume, but not off an application when they are specifically asked for.) The manager that that was weird, so the candidate was out. If it had been just one or the other, he probably would have just asked for the info. But both seemed fishy to him, and not worth the risk.
Moral of the story: Complete the entire application. Otherwise, it looks like you a) have something to hide, or b) can’t follow directions. Neither makes a candidate very attractive in any area of medical sales, healthcare sales, clinical diagnostics sales, imaging sales, pharmaceutical sales, DNA products sales, medical supplies sales, hospital equipment sales, medical device sales, pathology sales, laboratory sales, or biotech sales.
