Sales Candidates: Don’t bury the BS on your resume…

Bachelor of Science degree (major in Chemistry, Biology, Molecular, etc.) is not necessary, but it is helpful in medical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, laboratory sales, DNA products sales, sales of medical or surgical supplies, medical device sales, pharmaceutical sales, or any healthcare sales. So don’t bury it at the bottom of your resume where I have to search for it. Candidates who don’t have a BS try to hide that fact in various ways, but if you have yours, display it proudly. (But don’t fake it!)
While we’re on the subject of resumes: Recruiters have limited time to sift through the rubble of your resume, so it would be helpful (for you) to use bullet points. Make it easy for me to skim through and discover how fabulous you are. Your college professor wanted to read a well-crafted paragraph, but I don’t.
If you have any questions regarding this topic or any other, please do not hesitate to ask….

I agree. Make sure your resume is easy to read. Also make sure you include your numbers!! Everyone knows you prospect leads, but how much revenue are you bringing? How many deals are you closing?Remember: The resume is a hook for that big fish you are trying to catch; make it a juicy hook.
