Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips » Job Interviewing Skills: More Phone Interview Tips
Advice for phone interviews for jobs in medical sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, DNA products sales, molecular products sales, cellular products sales, medical supplies sales, biotechnology products sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, pharmaceutical sales, or any healthcare sales, marketing, or management position:
More and more first interviews are conducted by phone (they’re efficient), so make sure you know how to do them. According to The Phone Interview, you should have a quiet room, keep your resume in front of you so you don’t forget anything, and be as professional as if you were sitting in front of the interviewer. …

Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips » Tips for a successful panel job interview….
Panel interviews are gaining in popularity these days. Why? They save time, since the candidate interviews with everyone at once rather than go through a series of private interviews. They can be more reliable and job-related, since interviewers have each other to keep them accountable and to help them stay on track. These interviews are very good for sales, sales management, and marketing for medical sales, pharmaceutical sales, laboratory sales, pathology sales, imaging sales, molecular products sales, cellular products sales, biotechnology sales, and medical device sales, but less helpful for technical, customer service, and field service positions in healthcare.

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » 5 Tips for Recession Marketing
I’m a day late on this one, but MarketingSherpa’s research director, Stefan Tornquist, was interviewed in yesterday's WSJ about marketing in a recession. A couple of quick observations about Stefan's interview:
It was very hard hitting. The article was SIX columns, but there was zero fluff. Having been interviewed by newspapers, I understand the importance of having something "teachable" to say in a clear, concise way. Stefan nailed this interview. My article was highlighted from beginning to end — and I'm pretty stingy with a highlighter. His tips were mulitichannel in nature. MarketingSherpa's research confirms that multichannel marketing initiatives are … [Link]
Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips » MySpace killed the candidate….critical job interview tip
Another candidate with inappropriate material on his myspace…who is now no longer a candidate.
It’s REALLY important to sanitize your social network pages (anything on MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.) while you are looking for a job in medical sales, pharmaceutical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, laboratory sales, pathology sales, imaging sales, medical device sales, cellular products sales, molecular products sales, or biotech sales, which is why I have addressed this in previous posts.
Why? According to a Vault.com survey, which I found in Net Etiquette for Job Seekers, 44% of employers surveyed looked up potential employees on social networking sites and …

Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips » Interviewing Skills: Starting with the Phone
Quick quiz: When searching for a job in medical sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, pharmaceutical sales, pathology sales, imaging sales, medical device sales, cellular products sales, molecular products sales, or biotechnology sales, which of these greetings are appropriate for your voicemail?
a) “In case you have forgotten, this is a machine — my owner does not want siding, the newspaper, or the carpets cleaned. He donates to charity through hiss office and does not want his picture taken. If you’re still with me, leave a message and we’ll see if he calls you back.”
b) “Hello… Do you ever get …

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » LinkedIn Referrals: "Just Say No."
ATLANTA, GA - Last Monday, a 1st degree LinkedIn connection of mine (one of 1106) asked me to forward an InMail from a competing recruiter to one of the best online retailing executives in my LinkedIn network. I refused, and then stood firm when the connection asked me to defend my position.
Rather than blog about it, I thought you might enjoy this BlogTalk Radio rhubarb between me and the Recruiting Animal on this week's Recruiting Animal Show.
LinkedIn is a glorified database — not a community. As such, I do not feel the same obligation …

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » Contingency Recruiting: "The Rushmore Effect"
CHICAGO, IL - Recently I undertook a contingency-based executive search for a Chicago-based ecommerce company. Without being long winded here, the client's standards were really high. But mine were higher.
Throughout the process, the client asked me to "increase the flow" of candidates — but I refused to exceed my limit of four A-players at a time. Like Mt. Rushmore …
It's not that I couldn't submit dozens of average candidates. It's that I simply didn't want to, and on a contingency-based search, clients are going to get what I want them to have. Contingency clients use multiple …

LOS ANGELES - Job seekers, watch and learn : Susan McKenna, Director of Internet Marketing at BORBA, has posted on her LinkedIn biopage a recent interview with ad blogger Jolie O'Dell. Look under Websites, where it says "See Me @ Direct Response, 5/7/08."
This is a great idea. It seems like such an obvious thing to do, yet this is the first time I've seen it on LinkedIn. Although I have never spoken with Susan, I can tell that she is smart, likable, and has a teachable point of view on direct mail, mobile commerce, social …

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » Marketing Jobs: "Digital Careers to Watch"
NEW YORK - About a month ago, marketing and technology writer, Steve Rubel, wrote about Three Internet Careers That Soon Won't Exist. The post rocked. (Note the demise of "social media.") In that post, Mr. Rubel promised a follow up piece about digital careers to watch. Again, his post rocked. If you don't already subscribe to Steve Rubel's terrific blog Micro Persuasion, here’s your chance.

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » Resume Writing: One More Thing …
ATLANTA - Last month, I wrote a post on MarketingHeadhunter.com called "Do you need a resume? Google thinks so" in which I took marketing author Seth Godin to task for stating that "great people shouldn't have a resume." You can read my post to see what I wrote, but the reader comments were especially thoughtful.
Of particular interest were the comments of search engine expert Alan Rimm-Kaufman and Richard Millington of "I want to work with Seth Godin" — a great blog, as it turns out. Richard wrote …

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » SEO | SEM: "Good News for Domainers"
PALO ALTO, CA - GOOD news for owners of high quality domains … BAD news for many types of affiliate marketers: Based on feedback from both its advertisers and users, Google will no longer allow redirects and vanity URLs in Adwords results.
According to Google's Adwords page, ads will be approved if (and only if) the URL of an advertiser's landing page matches that of his display domain. This policy change is consistent with Google's efforts to present relevant results in its Adwords platform.
This means, for example, that an advertiser cannot display "EcommerceConsulting.com" unless her destination URL …

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » Job Search Tips: "Look Younger in 10 Minutes"
WINNERSVILLE, USA - We all understand the importance of maintaining a winning appearance in a job search. Looking good has a self-reinforcing effect on candidates: You look like a winner, so you feel like a winner. And you will get hired faster, by better companies, and for more money because you act like a winner. It's what I call duck logic: "Looks like a duck. Quacks like a duck. Must be a duck."
To that end, today's Wall Street Journal has a nice article called "Looking More Awake: A Dermatologist's Tips." Although the article is written for women, I thought …

Marketing Headhunter.com | Recruiters for Ecommerce » Internet TV: "Please, watch my commercial."
Amsterdam, NY - My wife is a big fan of Baker Studios, the little online retailer in Upstate NY who makes Adirondack blankets. At ~$42/blanket, these make great client gifts. People love them, and clients would much rather have something like this than a gift basket. We bought from this company in 2007 and were delighted with their product and service. Affordable. High quality. Very soft. Great designs.
Anyway, this morning, my wife received the following email from them …
Subject: Hello from your friends at Adirondack Blanket Works.
We are beginning a new type of communication program and …
