The Career Rx Podcast for Doctors

#116 - Answering Listener Questions


Listen Later

If you've wondered where to find nonclinical physician jobs in the world of pharma, biotech, or medical device - you're in the right place. Today’s podcast is the Q&A follow-up to a webinar about how to find nonclinical careers for doctors. 


In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

  • An overview of resumes vs CVs and how to get results
  • Compensation and career growth that come with industry
  • What you really need for success, and how to manage rejection

More than 700 of your peers attended my recent webinar Where and How to Look for Pharmaceutical Jobs for Physicians. We discussed more than ten highly practical and very actionable strategies. But there were also tons of questions about nonclinical resumes, successful application secrets, compensation expectations, and much more. 

As many of you may already know, all of these questions are answered in detail in Industry Insider (it’s more than 8 hours of content, after all) - but, this is the short version, to get you started..


In this Episode: 

[00:30] How to find nonclinical jobs in your specialty
[3:46] Is specialty, travel, or any specific skill a true dealbreaker?
[6:35] How do you make a nonclinical resume that gets results?
[12:30] What exactly to say to new contacts and companies - do you ask for a job?
[15:58] How much does pharma pay doctors? Will you have to take a pay cut?
[19:40] Do you need an MBA or a certification to get a nonclinical doctor job? How much clinical or research experience do you need?
[23:10]  Getting companies to come to you, rather than you applying endlessly
[26:00] Immediate rejection, what it means (and doesn’t mean), and what to do about it
