The Secret to Standing Out in Your Pharma Sales Career opportunity Search – Part I

I’m starting a new 6-part series on how to stand out in your medical sales position search.  Laboratory sales career opportunities are very competitive, top-tier sales positions that require a lot from candidates–whether you’re in medical devices, pharma sales, laboratory revenue, imaging revenue, surgical sales, clinical sales, or any health care sales arena.  The economic upheaval in general and the shakeups in the clinical 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 career opportunity.

So what’s your first step?

Tip #1:  Rethink Your Job Search

Most career opportunity seekers don’t understand that the position search is a revenue 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 queries 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 those questions is the first major step toward your goal.
