If you are looking for a position in medical sales, healthcare sales, medical device sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, cellular products sales, molecular products sales, biotechnology products sales, clinical diagnostics sales, laboratory sales, or pharmaceutical sales, here are seven tips to help you write the very best resume you can so that you can have the most impact: Use bullets points, not paragraphs. No one reads the paragraphs. (Do you?) Whether it is to be read by Human Resources or a hiring manager or third party recruiters, your resume needs to have bullet points. Have an objective, not a cover letter. You must have the objective clearly stated on your resume. Typically, hiring managers and recruiters do not upload the cover letter, only the resume. Your resume should be no more than 2 pages unless you have publications or you are Superman….and I have not placed Superman. Quantitative numbers on every job must relate to the bottom line. Determine your impact on the company’s bottom line and indicate that on your resume with numbers.

I’ve read that bullet points aren’t good
The only alternative to bullet points are paragraphs and I can assure you that most busy hiring managers and recruiters will not take the time to read a paragraph – no matter how interesting the information. We live in a sound bit world so give them the info in a format most likely to get you to the next step.
Thanks! Your vidoes are very helpful. In one, you talked about closong the interview. EXCELLENT tip!! Anyhow, I had a question about your 2-page resume limit. I’m in IT nad mine is 3-pages. Seems like important details would be left out if I shortened it.
Is 2-pages a hard and fast rule? Thanks again.
No – not a hard and fast rule. Don’t want to leave out relevant, important details. Have someone else look at your resume and ask them if there are parts that aren’t valuable. But for the majority – 2 pages is enough.
