At least the healthcare industry, and teaching is doing well ... Over the weekend, I will be releasing a response to the Labor Board jobs report, so stay tuned; it will be interesting. Before that, I wanted to introduce you to A. Raspberry, not her real name. She is a millennial with a PhD and $250,000.00 in student debt, and she has been unable to find a job in her field for four years, from 2020 to today. https://lnkd.in/gn-ZYqkw She is 38 and based out of Virginia. Unfortunately, while she has an impressive education and holds a PhD, she would like to go into teaching, but she has been informed that she needs more education. So much for all the teaching jobs, some people claim anyone can get. She has attempted to enter business administration, but is too experienced for entry-level, and not experienced enough for management, the best of both worlds. Then, of course, we have the elephant in the room. She is 38, which is nearly aged out of many jobs; then gender and race may be an issue, it almost seems like she is the poster-child for everything wrong with the job market. Despite her obvious work ethic, and credentials, she has secured a few one-off part-time nursing gigs, as no one job seems to be enough to pay for the bare essentials. Despite her extensive education, she is now training to become a TurboTax expert; after working the last year at various part-time nursing obs, even the eighty hours a week she puts in does not cut it. I think it is the $21.50 she earned an hour as a part-time nurse. I guess she missed one of the many companies claiming to offer good pay, and in demand of nurses. It is not all bad. In the last month, this PhD holder found a nursing job that pays $30.00/hour, so at least now she is out of California's minimum wage territory. After four years, I guess I have to wonder why she did not just apply to any of the highly paid, in-demand teaching positions that so many claim are plentiful? Better yet, make a killing on the countless nursing jobs that many claim to offer fantastic pay. Maybe she just needs to network better or update her resume; after all, she only made it on Business Insider; everyone knows if it is not the Wall Street Journal, or better, it does not count; she clearly needs to step up those networking skills.

☄ How important is your resume? Let’s face it, most resumes get tossed in the trash and never make it to the hiring manager. Word choice matters. Layout matters. First impressions matter. Having been a medical device, pharmaceutical and clinical specialist sales recruiter for 14 years, I review hundreds of resumes every day and know why certain resumes are selected and others are passed on. I partner with hiring managers to fill their open positions with top talent and understand what excites them and what turns them off in resumes. And, I am intimately familiar with all of the key competencies required for each role as well as the desired behavioral profiles and how to effectively translate those items onto a resume. Hire me to do your resume and let me help you get hired! (Interview prep coaching sessions are also an available service.) Contact me for more information and don't let your resume get lost in the shuffle!

There's no bigger cost to your Medtech business than a poor hiring decision. Most of the time it's not your fault. You feel underwhelmed with your options and talent appears sparse. You waste valuable time interviewing the wrong people. Your proposition isn't enough to win your 1st choice candidates. All can lead to a sub-par outcome. What you need to do: - create clearly defined attraction strategies - create clearly defined assessment strategies - audit your proposition in line with market demands You can do this by partnering with a search firm with a proven track record that takes the time to understand you and isn't afraid to challenge you. Let me save you some time and introduce you to a firm: Yozi Search & Selection Your work is too critical to fall short - let's talk.

👋 Hiring managers, how often are you genuinely stopped in your tracks with an answer to a routine interview question? I recently had a call with a hiring manager who spoke to a passive candidate we submitted - a successful veteran in structural heart. She couldn't get over the response. The question: "So, why are are you looking to leave ______(company)?". Very common, and often precarious! The response was something like this: "Well, I'm really not looking. Like many reps, I get a lot of inmails about jobs - I don't respond to hardly. But the way Ryan explained the nature of this role from the beginning really got me thinking.". OK, so pretty good so far 😅 (and thanks for the plug, bud!). But here's the rest... "I look for four things with a job that are musts for me to make a switch. They are: ☑ The therapy/device MUST have a significant and immediate positive impact on the patient. It has to work. It has to be financially sustainable to use. ☑ Your technology must be disrupting and the company should be the leader in the space. ☑ Company culture must be positive and sales driven without convoluted quota structures. ⏹ I need to have permission to have candid discussions with my manager's entire team during this process. Based on what I've learned, the first 3 seem to be true. Can we discuss your management style, and if your decide to move forward with me, do I have your permission to speak with your entire team?". 🔥 Wow, think about how much this response communicates and commands? This is how a pro rep responds to that often tricky question. This is how you respond when you've been through the ringer, and came out the other side victorious. When I followed up with him, and asked about the exchange he said this.. "Ryan, if I can check those four boxes, I've learned over the last 15 years everything else takes care of itself. I'm able to rule out most jobs this way - I know what I need to succeed." 👏 Are you laser focused about the type of sales reps you're looking for? Are you actively recruiting people like this to your bench? Rest assured; the best reps are laser focused about the type of company and manager they want to work with. Follow/Connect for tips, and let us know if we can ever help you find your next laser focused, patient driven rep! #medicaldevice #medicalsales #brand30

Knowing when to switch call points in medical device can be really tough to navigate. The benefits of sticking to a call point are the relationships you build, clinical knowledge you’ve gained, comfortability in that particular hospital department/setting, etc. etc. The hard part is the opportunity cost you take by not switching call points. Is there new, exciting technology that I’m missing out on selling? Is there better work life balance in a new call point? Better comp plans? Better career trajectory? I don’t have all the answers for candidates considering making that change, but if you never dig in and look at new call points/technology then you’ll never know what you might be missing out on. I’d urge folks to talk to people actually doing these jobs, selling to these physician specialties, working in these departments, and so on. If you’re ready to switch up your call points and make a change don’t hesitate to reach out. Happy to help if I can!

Looking for a new position 👀 on Indeed? Using Indeed's FREE resume function? Here are a few tips from someone who looks at Indeed resumes all day: ✔ Make sure you put an "end date" when filling out/creating an Indeed resume. If not, all of your positions will show "present" and look like you're working at multiple companies! ✔ Utilize the "part time" and/or "full time" differentiator when building the resume. This can clear up any confusion of you working multiple full-time positions at the same time. ✔ Make sure your contact information and city/state are updated! I've had tons of people interested in jobs but have incorrect information on their resume - it makes you very hard to reach to set up interviews.. ✔ Be sure to create an Indeed resume in addition to uploading your formatted resume (if you have one). #Indeed resumes use a uniform format so recruiters/hiring managers know where to look for things. Often times the PDF/Word document of your resume is microscopic and not always upload correctly. ✔ Select what type of work you're looking for when you upload your resume. Recruiters can filter for candidates looking for part time, full time, and contract work just like you do when job searching! If you don't have a resume currently, I encourage you to use your LinkedIn profile to start (you can download it as a PDF) or use Indeed's free resume builder. You can build from there! #Indeed #jobsearch #opentowork #hiring #resume #indeedresume #indeedjobs #recruiter #recruiting #jobsearchtips #resumetips #Indeedtips https://lnkd.in/giVkaftF

“If you are looking for a partner and not just a source of resumes, let’s talk” Mitch Robbins These are interesting times- as a hiring manager you can post a position and very quickly receive resumes, many resumes. Now what? Are they qualified? What hiring manager has the time to sift through the endless resumes? If you have an open role that you are trying to fill with the right candidate and you are looking for someone to help clear the noise, let’s talk. Goal- clear the noise Goal- 2 candidates 10 days Goal- Not just tell you what I can do (more noise) but show you Hiring Managers- Find 10 minutes- let’s talk
