According to the January 2005 R&D Directions’ publication, the top pharmaceutical companies continue to invest in research and development and are continuing to thrive and that only means one thing for the pharmaceutical industry, jobs are plentiful.

Since third quarter of 2004, our firm has experienced the largest steady influx of open job requisitions. Our specialty area is clinical development and commercialization and we are currently working on over 130 job orders. The need is to hire quality candidates and our job is to identify these candidates in a timely and efficient manner.

To begin the search process we need to assess what each of these companies has to offer our potential recruits and we need to know what it is that our candidates our looking for in the “ideal” opportunity.

So you have decided that it is time to explore new career opportunities for yourself.

Are you going to rely on a search engine, which infiltrates the job boards, or rely on a job board to filter your key words and then filtrate your CV through cyberspace? Or are you one of those rookie recruits who mass emails their CV and posts it on the Internet for everyone including your current employer to view?

There comes a time in each of our lives when we feel the need to make a change, whether it be personal or professional, and we will often seek the advice of a specialty resource person.

In my fifteen plus years in Human Resources and Executive Search, I have come to learn that there is no one right way, however, there are some ways that will help us advance our careers.When a candidate has decided to make a job change, I recommend they contact a professional search firm to assist them in identifying new opportunities. A skilled recruiter will coach and train the candidate as well as help them prepare for a successful interview. A good recruiter will represent the candidate to their clients seeking their particular skill set.

A brag book is a must have for any face-to-face pharmaceutical sales interview. If you want to stand out from the competition and add credibility to the claims that you make in your resume, you should spend a little time putting a bragbook together.

The bragbook is a sales aid and no true salesperson should interview without o­ne. Just as salespeople rely o­n a sales aid to sell the features and benefits of their service or product, you should have a bragbook to sell yourself to your interviewer.
