Hiring managers are scanning your resume for a few things, and they’re doing it in under 10 seconds:
- Is it easy to follow?
- Does the professional summary accurately describe your background in about three sentences?
- Does your relevant experience include roughly three to five bullet points with measurable results?
Ideally, we’re looking for sales candidates who are high achievers. The bullet points under your experience should reflect rankings, percentages, quota achievements, awards, significant recognition, and things like that.
Your resume should not be longer than one page. Extracurriculars, sports awards, and certifications can also be valuable, but you need to make room for the most relevant information.
And one more thing: you cannot have errors on your resume. Mistakes can cost you phone calls, so make sure it’s free of them.
How to format your resume
At the top, include:
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your email address
- The city you live in
- Your LinkedIn profile
Next comes your professional summary. It should be concise and express your intention to break into or transition into medical sales.
How to present your experience
List your professional experience in reverse chronological order. I recommend including only your most relevant history and, generally speaking, about three to five bullet points per job. If you’re limited on experience and have only held one job, you may need five or six bullet points for it.
Again, those bullet points need to be quantifiable. This is a sales resume, so there should be numbers all over the page. Even if you don’t have sales experience, you can quantify a lot of your day-to-day responsibilities. (See how that works for a military veteran or a surgical tech.)
A strong resume is only half of getting interviews. You also need to get it in front of the right people.
Example: a medical device sales resume
Here’s an example of the format I use when I reconstruct my clients’ resumes to get them interviews with some of the world’s most competitive and selective medical device companies. Notice that nearly every bullet leads with a measurable result.
