Does Your Resume Tell…Or Does It Sell?

It’s tough Sledding out there amid all the layoffs, especially in the Life Sciences which is the arena we play in. More specifically as a sales or sales management professional in the Life Sciences. Now you find yourself in need of a new opportunity because:

  • Your company had it’s funding cut and they laid off their entire sales organization including you.

  • The company you’ve been loyal to decided to move on to cut expenses and improve their bottom line.

  • A Start-up that promised you the world went out of business months after you left a really good job and now you’re looking again.

  • Commissions have been cut and you’re making half of what you used to and need to make a move.

  • Corporate promised aggressive growth that was unattainable, now you’ve been laid off.

So now you need a resume to help you land the next opportunity. Sadly, even though LinkedIn is a powerful tool used by recruiters/employers/hiring managers extensively in 2023 the resume is still the main medium used to get in front of hiring authorities.

So what do Recruiters/Employers/Hiring Managers Look For When You Submit a Resume?

  • Color?

  • Photo?

  • Fancy font?

  • Core Competencies?

  • Objectives?

  • Professional Profiles?

  • Paragraphs of Information explaining how you have 15 years of sales experience?

  • Summary of Qualifications?

  • Profile?

NO…..

We look for…

  • Where you live in proximity to the territory your applying for?

  • Have you managed the desired geography in the past or present?

  • Do you have the background needed for the open role?

  • Have you called on the specialty you’re applying for?

  • What hospitals, institutions, private practices have you called on?

  • What are your call points?

  • Do you have experience selling what is desired - pharmaceuticals, medical devices, capital equipment?

  • Did you have success?

  • Have you had sustained success?

  • Tenure in chosen specialty?

  • Have existing relationships in the desired geography?
