The Secret to Standing Out in Your Medical Revenue Job Search – Part I

I’m starting a new 6-part series on how to stand out in your medical sales career opportunity search.  Clinical sales jobs are very competitive, top-tier revenue career opportunities that require a lot from candidates–whether you’re in medical laboratory devices, pharmaceutical sales, pathology sales, imaging sales, surgical revenue, 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 have to bring your game in order to be successful and land the job.

So what’s your first step?

Tip #1:  Rethink Your Position Search

Most position seekers don’t understand that the career opportunity search is a sales process, even if your career opportunity 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 CV acting as the marketing brochure that it should be?

Strategically analyzing those issues and constructing compelling answers to these queries is the first big step toward your goal.
