HOW DO I GET THE ATTENTION OF RECRUITERS?

First, develop a great resume. If you’re not skilled at writing and formatting, hire a professional resume writer (preferably someone with first-hand experience in the industry and experience with writing medical sales resumes...cough cough...ME).

Be sure that resume calls out your accomplishments and achievements, and be sure that it lets the recruiter know what kind of position you are hoping to get.

Don’t send in a vague or generic resume that is not targeted for medical sales.

Finally, have a succinct but powerful “elevator pitch” prepared before you speak with a recruiter.

Remember, your first interview is with the recruiter. If you don’t impress the recruiter, you won’t be presented as a candidate to the hiring manager...cough cough... I coach that too!
