What does it really take to land a job in pharmaceutical or medical device sales?
What types of candidates are being hired and why aren’t you getting responses when you apply for jobs?
There is a reason that careers in pharmaceutical and medical device sales are so highly sought after. These elite sales jobs are challenging, offer flexibility, and pay top salaries and commissions. Have you applied to jobs and found yourself frustrated by the lack of response? The competition for these coveted sales jobs is fierce. On average, a company will receive more than 300 applications for every job posted. Applying to jobs on-line (conducting a traditional job search) is the least effective way of getting noticed and landing interviews. HR Managers are trained to screen out candidates that do not match at least 70% of the job posting criteria.
Fortunately for job seekers, there are ways to overcome the traditional job search challenges. If you approach the job search process as you would a sales call, it becomes obvious that using a “bottom up” approach rarely generates positive results. To change your job search outcomes, you must change your strategy. Conducting a pro-active job search focused on sending your resume to actual hiring managers will ensure that you are telling your story to the person that understands how your background relates to what the company needs. The first step is to develop a resume that is effective in relaying your experience as it translates to the medical sales role.
Over the last 12 years, we have coached more than 100 candidates into medical sales roles. Our clients have included new college graduates, B2B sales representatives, and customer service professionals. We have also written resumes and coached experienced medical sales professionals, from Sales Rep up to the Vice President of Sales. We have found that all companies will hire Sales Representatives with no prior medical sales experience. All companies provide extensive training programs.
