The Secret to Standing Out in Your Medical Sales Job Search – Part I
I’m starting a new 6-part series on how to stand out in your medical sales job search. Medical sales jobs are very competitive, top-tier sales jobs that require a lot from candidates–whether you’re in medical devices, laboratory sales, pathology sales, imaging sales, surgical sales, pharmaceutical sales, or any health care sales arena. The economic upheaval in general and the shakeups in the pharmaceutical industry in particular haven’t helped matters at all. You’ve really got to bring your game in order to be successful and land the job.
So what’s your first step?
Tip #1: Rethink Your Job Search
Most job seekers don’t understand that the job search is a sales process, even if your job has nothing to do with sales: you want an employer to hire you, which essentially means to buy your product (that would be you). So here are the questions you must ask yourself:
- Why should he buy your skills and talents over someone else’s?
- What benefits can you offer?
- What makes you different from other products?
- Where do you “fit” in the marketplace?
- With this in mind, is your resume acting as the marketing brochure that it should be?
Strategically analyzing these issues and constructing compelling answers to these questions is the first big step toward your goal.
