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

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

So what’s your first step?

Tip #1:  Rethink Your Career opportunity Search

Most career opportunity seekers don’t understand that the job search is a sales 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 questions 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 queries is the first big step toward your goal.
