The Career Rx Podcast for Doctors
Business:Careers
Wondering whether to hire a professional resume writer or service? Will a resume service finally help you make that career transition and land the job you want? Take a deep dive into whether this is the right decision for you in this listener inspired episode!
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
Today we’re answering the common listener question: “should I hire a professional resume service?” and the closely related “do you have a resume service recommendation?” While there are definitely some advantages that professionals can give you, there are important caveats to keep in mind when turning your CV into a nonclinical resume.
In this Episode:
[2:45] Transitioning to the pharmaceutical industry? Check out Industry Insider.
[4:18] Exploring the advantages you can expect from a resume service
[10:20] And the cautions…what resume services can’t do for you, unless they are specialized
[19:15] Why networking is so important - for your resume!
If you do want to hire a professional, I recommend checking out Dr. Heather Fork or Dr. Laura McKain - both of whom have excellent resume-focused programs and are trusted affiliates. Dr. Fork has very broad nonclinical career expertise, and Dr. McKain is more focused on pharmaceutical careers. Both are very skilled in creating effective nonclinical resumes for physicians.
