The Secret to Standing Out in Your Medical Sales Job Search – Part VI

Today is the last piece of a 6-part series on how to stand out in your medical sales job search.  Here’s what we’ve covered so far:

Part 1 – Rethinking your job search (and where you stand in it)

Part 2 – Using social media to help you land the job

Part 3 – Using the right tools to impress your interviewer

Part 4 – Job shadowing (a.k.a. medical sales field preceptorship)

Part 5 – Polish your interview skills

And today’s part 6 is:  Utilize Online Resources

There’s an amazing variety of resources for you online, and you should use all of them.

  • Research interview tips online, including all the ones on this blog specifically for medical sales, laboratory sales, medical device sales, pharmaceutical sales, and other health care sales from the medical sales recruiter.  You’ll find hundreds of articles dedicated to the job search, and tools guaranteed to improve your results as a candidate.
  • YouTube is a great source for videos to assist you.  I have many videos for medical sales professionals at the MedSalesRecruiter channel.
  • Sign up for free one-hour webinars like these:

  • Don’t forget to use LinkedIn to research companies, as well as the people who work for and used to work for them.  That’s going to be a rich source of information before your interview.
  • Career Confidential has tools and products specifically designed to give you as much help as possible in your job search:  the LinkedIn profile tutorial so that you attract hiring managers, the 30/60/90-day plan templates and how-to coaching for it to impress them in your interview, the How to Get Into Medical Sales kit, videos, podcasts, and much more.

What I’m hoping that you’ve gotten out of all this is that it’s not just the tools and techniques that matter in your quest for a medical sales job (even though they are very important and can absolutely be what pushes you over the finish line).  But overall, the secret to standing out in your job search is also about changing your strategy and thought process, understanding how you fit in the market, and knowing how to use every resource you’ve got to land the medical sales job you want.
