How to write a Medical Sales Résumé

When Medical Sales hiring managers scan your résumé…

They’re not reading every word.

Instead, they’re hunting for key details in seconds.

In under 30 seconds, they’re making decisions about your qualifications.

That’s why crafting a Med Rep résumé tailored to the job/company/industry is essential.

Here’s what catches our eyes during a résumé scan:

1. Location

↳ Do you live in the territory?

2. Summary

↳ This is your billboard—make it count.

3. Company Name

↳ Familiar or reputable companies stand out.

4. Title

↳ Use specific, relevant job titles. Example: Sales Rep

5. Dates

↳ Share month & year for all roles. We are looking for trends.

6. Metrics

↳ Show your numbers! No metrics? It’s going to be a problem.

7. Education

↳ List degrees, certifications, and training. Bonus: Sports + Leadership

8. Skills

↳ Don’t just list them—show them in action throughout your resume.

Pro Tip: Keep it to 1 page for every 10 years of employment.

Hiring managers are busy; clarity wins every time.

Each section is a chance to answer one question:
