I came across a good article I’d like to share with you: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference In Your Job Hunt. We do tend to think a lot about resumes, 30/60/90-day plans, interviewing skills, and closing for the job, but it can be the little things that make a difference on whether we get to the interview or not. (I’m paraphrasing the article’s points here so I can add my thoughts.)
Some of the small but critical details you must remember to land a job in medical sales include:
- Your contact information – If you’ve got several social media sites, you might forget to update them with your correct contact information if you move, for instance. Same goes for resumes. That’s the kiss of death when working with recruiters. As a recruiter, if I can’t find you, I can’t submit you for the job.
- Your voice mail message - Please be sure this is a professional greeting–not funny, or recorded by your kids (as cute as they are).
- Your response time – Your job search can seem really slow, until the employer is ready to make a move. Then it’s quick, and you better be ready to go. Respond quickly to phone calls or emails so you don’t miss out. Also, it shows enthusiasm if you get back to employers or recruiters quickly.
- Your attitude - If you land the interview (or even the second one) and are passed over for the job anyway, it will still benefit you to exhibit a good attitude and resolve to keep in touch. If this job isn’t right, the next one might be. And a recruiter is going to be much more inclined to call back the candidate who handled themselves with grace and professionalism.
- Your enthusiasm – It’s OK to show the employer how much you want the job. You can do this with your voice and smile, but a great addition to this is your 30/60/90-day plan that you bring to the interview. Your written plans for your first 3 months with the company are a concrete demonstration of your enthusiasm and commitment that’s irresistible to hiring managers.
