How to Make Your Medical Device Sales Resume Stand Out from Your Competition

When it comes to sales resumes, many professionals assume that there are a few basic achievements that can highlight surrounding quota attainment. But there is always more to a role than meets the eye — and a resume, like a theatrical trailer, must pique the interest of your audience and get them excited enough to buy tickets to the actual film.

How can you optimize your medical device sales resume? Think outside the box for creative ways to showcase your unique personal brand, such as using endorsements, charts or graphs, and a career summary that knocks the readers’ socks off with quantifiable results and a clearly defined professional brand.

ENDORSEMENTS

Including an endorsement quote on your resume helps to validate specific soft skills, while reinforcing that you are great with people. The source of the quote can also make a difference.

-Is it a client speaking to your abilities as a trusted advisor on medical device solutions?

-Is it a former employer raving about your consistent quota attainment?

-Is it a lukewarm recommendation from a mediocre performance review? (Hopefully not!)
