eMedCareers

In this more social and online orientated society, recruiters often ‘Google’ job seekers or search various social networking sites to gain a more holistic view of a candidate and how they would ‘fit’ within the recruiting company.

Creating an online profile can dramatically enhance your job hunting and career prospects.

Twitter allows you to post updates on all things you find interesting or worthy of comment. This provides you with an online personality and gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts and opinions about the latest developments in the biopharma or medtech industries.

LinkedIn is the global professional social network allowing you to build connections from your industry sector. The site allows you to showcase the experience you’ve built up during your career in addition to providing you with the opportunity to network in groups which are relevant to your field, experience and interests. You also have the ability to show recommendations from colleagues and clients.

emedcareers now provides an optional new tool to assist you communicating more relevant information about yourself other than that contained in your 1-2 page CV/Resume.

When you apply for a job on emedcareers, you can now add links to your Twitter and LinkedIn profiles. Simply visit My emedcareers page and ‘Add or Update your social network setting link’

You will then be able to save links to social media networks in which you participate.

It is optional to include these links to these sites with your applications. Your Twitter account may have more personal musings and not bare any relevance to your career or job search and so therefore you may not wish to highlight it.

At emedcareers we are actively engaged with various social networking sites and we will shortly be launching our own Professional LinkedIn Group to discuss careers progression and the latest news from the Biotech, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Job markets.

Then you need to understand Upstream, Downstream, Strategy and Tactics

What do these themes essentially mean in the world of marketing medical technologies? If your going to an interview for a marketing job then you need to be able to converse with authority about these aspects of marketing and ensure you are aware of the differences. In the recruiting work we do at Remtec we see a lot of confusion at times about these terms, not only from candidates but clients also. Clients often wish to hire a marketing candidate with more ‘Strategic Experience’ but when you probe further and ask what activities they require the person to carry out, their answer often sits under tactics not strategy.

Here I set out to discuss each activity, uncoupling the difference between upstream and downstream and simplify the activities of strategic and tactical marketing, to remove further misunderstandings.
