Job Shadowing: How to Find Someone to Ride Along With

Job shadowing is a great career builder for anyone interested in medical sales, whether you’re focused on medical devices, laboratory, surgical, imaging, pharmaceutical, or any health care sales arena.  Sometimes known as a field preceptorship, this experience is great because it

  • sets you apart as a “go-getter”,
  • beefs up your resume with keywords that get attention,
  • builds your network (and proves that you can), and
  • gives you more informed answers to interview questions, resulting in a better interview.

It’s one of those “above and beyond” things that aren’t necessarily essential to get the job, but can make a huge difference in whether or not you do.

Even though it’s easy to understand how beneficial job shadowing is, it can be hard to actually go out and get that experience.  In today’s video, I’ll tell you how.  You can get a job shadowing experience through your own network, by using social media, or you can get contacts from the medical sales recruiter.

    I never thought about “Job Shadowing”, it’s something new for me.
    But, it’s a good information for us.
