Medical Sales still booming

Medical Sales booming!

Medical Sales booming!

Medical Sales is still booming even in this current economic climate.

There is a noticeable decline in the Pharmaceutical Sales sector as evident in all the recent redundancies and contract positions not being renewed.

However, the Medical Sales, Medical Products, Medical Equipment and Medical Device Sales are all faring well.

We have a number of Medical Sales jobs currently generally looking for experienced Medical Sales reps, but not Pharmaceutical Sales or GP Reps.

In this day and age it is the most essential tool for the working person! No CV is a no-no. Your CV should have a permanent place on your desk top where it can scream at you to update!

With sites like Linkedin and connections being made through social networks, it really is essential that you have a CV drawn up.

If you have no CV don’t worry, sort it with our layout!

Suits you Sir!

Suits you Sir! Just as we wear different clothes to suit an occasion, when looking for a job it is sometimes worth considering these CV tips to suit each prospective employer or position you are applying for and to present your best assets accordingly. Consider your skills, your experience and more importantly- you!

A bad CV can be as bad as no suit at Interview. Think of how you want to look.

A bad CV can be as bad as no suit at Interview. Think of how you want to look.

For instance if you are a specific engineer you would phrase your CV to emphasise your skills to suit the role required and also give relevent examples of where your technological skills, experience or software abilities will complement the specific job required.

If you issue a generic, one size fits all CV to every client you will naturally find your CV appears to have limited if any success as a result of your CV content being limited or only partially relevant.

Having a CV for a specific type of role, either Radiologist, Nurse, Manager, Engineer, Sales Rep, Trainer or Technician means that the CV content will exlusively reflect the required role. It also means, if you have several years experience you can offer your best and most comprehensive CV without running out of  CV space room without producing an overly long CV.

Similarly having several specific letters means you can choose specifically to present your technical, personal  or management skills exclusively depending on what the Job Description calls for. This is helping the employer or agency and they will be greatful for it.

Once more this allows you to make your best possible presentation and further increases your chances of being called for interview. This of course then means you only have the issue of  deciding what you will choose to wear to  interview. After all it suits you to look and feel at your best when you have presented your best assets.

Interview Preparation

Check Your Water

Check Your Water

When you have an interview organised, the first thing that should come to your mind will be the usual elements of preparation such as, researching the company, memorising who you are meeting and what their position is.

If you are super organised perhaps even a list of questions you may have to direct back to the interviewer!

One other vital consideration for every interview is also the most essential part of interview preparation - getting there? Aside from all the above preparations before an interview, the most essential point is the navigation!

  • Do you know where the company is based?
  • Do you have the building routed/ entered into your Sat Nav?
  • Have you timed the journey so you will be there early?

One final consideration – Is your car in working order?! Have you checked the oil,  water and the petrol?

Obvious as it sounds, these kind of blips can occur!

The Right Job


The Application

The Application

Applying for the right job is paramount in this day and age. It is an employer’s market right now so your application success depends on a variety of moves.

A few tips to point you in the right direction!

The Application

  • Make sure you quote the job reference yes, but more importantly the Job Title!
  • Read the Job Spec. It is imperative you are qualified to do the job – whether educationally or years experience. Some people require both! Most importantly, if you can’t do the job don’t apply for it! It really won’t be the right job for you.
  • The questions. Answer the questions given at the end of the job before you click send. It saves a lot of time so be nice to the kind people receiving your application?

The Cover Sheet/ Email:

  • Let the person receiving your mail know why you are applying. They really do read it, so give a small synopsis of yourself right and your working experience.

The CV

  • If you are happy with it, attach it!

The Send Button

  • Does exactly what it says on the tin!

In the current economic climate

Employers have the pick of the crop to choose from

Employers have the pick of the crop to choose from

In the current economic climate we find that employers have the pick of the crop when it comes to choosing candidates for their resourcing requirements. 

Not in decades has there been such an opportunity for Irish employers to choose from such a wide range of superbly qualified candidates with such excellent experience and skills and as a result they are taking their time before they make their selection.

Many employers only too well remember the scarcity of skilled and qualified candidates that existed in the Ireland of less than five years ago and the relentless career and salary demands of prospective employees.  

Fast forward five years and the employment landscape has changed beyond recognition.

Applicants for new positions often describe interminable periods of time waiting for feedback leading to a lack of self worth and a pronounced sense of limbo, this can erode already dwindling confidence whilst waiting and wondering-what happened?? 

Candidates cannot be blamed for wondering or doubting did their cv meet the criteria? Was there an ulterior reason why they have not heard back? Is the requirement real? Where they or their qualifications good enough? 

Feedback is the key and all candidates certainly deserve feedback ;-even if it is negative or disappointing because at least that way they can move on to looking at the next job. Because in the current economic climate it is the persistence to overcome disappointment and the determination to succeed despite competition that will get you your next job.
