MedBlaster - Blast Your Resume to over 100 Pharmaceutical Sales Recruiters

For those of you looking to get into pharmaceutical sales or medical sales try loitering outside your local hospital or physicians office. Loitering may not be he best word choice since your going to be selling yourself not hanging outside your local 7/11. Print up several dozen copies of your resume, dress to impress, and get ready to meet and great every pharmaceutical sales rep or medical sales rep that enters the hospital or doctors office. It wont be too hard to identify a pharmaceutical sales rep. Most pharmaceutical sales or medical sales reps will have a badge with their name and company name listed on it as well as bag containing samples of the product they are marketing.

When you spot a pharma rep be sure to introduce yourself as a job seeker, ask if you can hand them your resume, be sure to ask for their business card, and thank them for taking the time to talk with you. You may even ask the rep if they would ever have time to sit down with you for a cup of coffee and discuss what the day in the life of a pharm rep is like. Let them know you are committed to break into the industry and will do whatever it takes to do so.

As soon as you get home be sure and send the rep a very brief email thanking them for their time and any assistance they can provide. I have heard about job seekers who have done this and the rep they contacted was so impressed they sent the resume to their boss recommending her or she look at this applicant the next time a job opens up. Many employed phama reps are paid a small finders fee if they recommend an applicant who is later hired.

I once had a close friend (he is a medical device rep) call me about a job seeker he met at a local hospital. I just happened to have an open pharmaceutical sales position in the same area and called the manager I was working with about this candidate. The manager was immediately impressed at the fact this applicant wasnt simply sitting on monster.com waiting for someone to call her, she was in the field cold calling pharma reps and doing what a good sales person does, selling!!!! She ended up getting an interview and also getting the job. The good news, if 500 people read this suggestion I bet 5 - 10 will actually do it…be that 5 - 10 and you will separate yourself from the rest of the pack.
