For today's episode, we have on Mark Bartz.
Mark is the founder of Medical Sales Mentors. A company that helps people find jobs in Med Device, Bio-Tech, and Pharma sales.
I can't believe Mark shared this:
Only 7% of all job seekers apply with the help of a company employee or referral. That 7% represents 50% of all job offers.
This has only accelerated after Covid when HR departments encouraged employee referral programs rather than outside search firms. His job search, NetOut, is designed to help you get the offer.
He specializes in three areas:
Mark has successfully placed a variety of people, including airline pilots, chorus line singers, professional athletes, and everyday business people.
He says the companies can teach you clinical information and how to present their products, but they can't teach you hard work, integrity, grit, and personality.
His point is that nobody was born a med device or pharmaceutical sales rep. If you go on LinkedIn and look at some of the current reps' profiles, you will see that most of them have moved into these roles after having some unrelated background.
I agree with him. If they wanted pharmacists or medical types to sell these products, the job ads would spell that out. But it is just the opposite; they need you to bring your diverse background and unique skills to call on the doctors.
With this in mind, he designs your resume to help the interviewer ask about your stories so that you can showcase your soft skills.
Wouldn't you love to have a resume that makes them say, "Wow!" and "Tell me about these situations."?
This is what he suggests for the top half of your resume:
