Opportunities

 Make sure your Floodgate Medical
Profile is Updated
 This will help us identify opportunities that

4. Respect the Referral
 Respect your
referral source
 if you learned about a
position through a
recruiter or employee,
don’t circumvent
them by applying to
the position online
(unless indicating
them as your source)

5. Research, Research, Research
 Register and search for jobs on the following sites:
 MedReps, Medcareers, MedGorilla, LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.
 Be proactive in researching news and blog sites to learn more
about your industry and those which you are interested in
 Conduct research to see which companies are hiring and when
 Follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn for updates
on open positions

6. Polish Up Your Materials
 Make sure your resume is up to date
 Make sure dates appear in chronological order
 Build your “brag book”
 Don’t save your sales numbers for your brag book;
interviewers need to see this at first pass – 1st
impressions are everything
 Gather a list of up to date and impressive
references
 Get reference letters from colleagues to share with
potential employers

7. Be Cautious
 Document everything you might be asked
in the future
 W2’s, sales results, sales awards, certifications,
etc.
 Don’t wait to gather your sales performance
data until you are actively looking for a new job
– this should be an ongoing task
*We’ve talked to hundreds of candidates who
were victims of an RIF, wherein their laptops
were taken away without notice, leaving
them with no access to their numbers

8. Continuous Improvement
 Keep producing and growing in your current position
 This is not the time to slack off; do everything you can to
keep a positive reputation in your job until you find a new
one
