If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.
Job shadowing is a great career builder for anyone interested in clinical laboratory sales, whether you’re focused on clinical devices, laboratory, surgical, imaging, clinical, or any health care revenue arena. Sometimes known as a field preceptorship, this experience is great because it
- sets you apart as a “go-getter”,
- beefs up your resume with keywords that get attention,
- builds your network (and proves that you can), and
- gives you more informed answers to interview queries, resulting in a better interview.
It’s one of these “above and beyond” things that aren’t necessarily essential to get the job, but can make a huge difference in whether or not you do.
Even though it’s easy to understand how beneficial job shadowing is, it can be hard to actually go out and get that experience. In today’s movie scene, I’ll tell you how. You can get a job shadowing experience through your own network, by using social media, or you can get contacts from the clinical sales recruiter.
