Just a quick heads-up:
When you send your resume to a headhunter by email, don’t send a cover letter as an attachment. For the most part, it’s a waste of time. A busy medical sales headhunter doesn’t have time to open extra attachments, and expects that you’ll say what you need to say in the body of the email. Do what you can to make life easy for the person reading your documents.
BTW: A CV objective is a great way to summarize who you’re and what you want, too.
