Lose the big title on your resume if you want to be considered for my sales role.

Job seekers can mistakenly think that the big job title they’ve had is always impressive on a resume.  Some sales reps have the title of VP, or Sales Director, even though they were actually in a one-to-one sales role.  This can cause a problem for you in your job search if you’re looking for another sales role.

Especially if you’re transitioning into medical sales, you’re not going to get a VP role, or a Director role, or even an Account Executive role with that title on your resume, because every recruiter and hiring manager will assume that you won’t be happy as a sales rep.

You need to downplay the big titles, and maybe think about a competency-based resume.  Emphasize your skills, point out your technological or science background, and highlight your sales numbers to get hired in medical sales.
