Resume Help so I can get the hell out!

[OXCARSANDPUTONDUBHITS]

Hey everyone,
Alright so 4 years into the company, and I am definately ready to get the fuck out. Pharmeceutical sales is the path I'm looking at. I actually just feel so burnt out and brain washed, I was trying to update my resume w/ the responsibilities I have had as a manager, and that was even hard to do. Can anyone please share the bullets they used on their resume? I have been a branch manager for years, and also worked in house at an ins. company for a bit. I have been very succesful w/ net profit, fleet growth and really just a top perfomer. It's sad it's just been so long that I've forgetten how to express what I did for this shithole for years. I feel like writing, "slave to my area mgr, rvp, vp etc so they can make over $100k and up to millions while I struggled to break over $50k working my ass off for this greedy company!"
Please help so I can update this shit and get the hell out. I'm really looking forward to having a life and not working 55-60hrs a week!

My suggestion is to write down everything you do on a daily basis, so daily sales, branch responsibilities, reports you may have to do, etc, etc. Brainstorm and put in on a piece of paper what you do on a daily basic, weekly basis, and monthly basis. If you are looking to get into pharmaceutical, gear your resume towards sales and management of your inventory....this shows to that company that not only can you keep track of the samples that they will give you but also that you can sell a product. Make sure you put information in there about doing the a/r's and the income statement. Don't overdo it but use that and trust me it will help tremendiously. I got out almost 2 years ago and it has been great ever since....best of luck to you. Glad you finally realized what brainwashers they are.

I left over 6 years ago to get into Pharma sales. Be careful what you wish for. While it is a zillion times better than working for Enterprise it still has it's downfalls. Money and benefits are infinitely better but pharma today AIN'T what it was yesterday. Now, after 5 and a half years fo pharma, I am a stock broker and couldn't be happier. Pharma is so micro-managed today you are going to think you are still at Enterprise. You are expected to work 45+_ hrs a week calling on Doctors who DON'T want to see you or even trust what you are telling them and then go home to do an additional 10-15 hrs a week on reports and online testing. You will be riding with a manager that really has no clue about your territory and customer base twice a month. You will be treated like a dumbass from some fat, nasty, receptionist who only wants free pens from you. You will not be able to use the autonomy that the company will promise you to run you territory as if it were yours... Sounds familiar??? You will more than likely start out at a company that has the POD system. That is, you will have anywhere from 5-10 counterparts selling the same drugs calling on the same physicians. Remember, they don't want to see you.

The good? You will make close to what an AM makes the first year with a $50-65k salary based on your negotiation and sales skills. You get a brand new perosnal car that ususally costs about $650/year. You have the freedom to dick around during the day between calls if you are like most drug reps out there. Be careful, this will catch up with you.
Another positive is that you will never get your tie sucked up in a wet/dry vac again however, you will still split your pants wide ass open due to the fact you are bending and squatting over in a sample closet all day long. At least UPS get's to wear those shorts.

This is just a minute example but the pharma gig is so much better than Enterprise I say good luck with trying to break in. You can expent at least a years worth of interviews. Count on at least 10+ face to face interviews with District Managers. The competition will be mind-boggling. There 30,000 people trying to get hired to sale pharmaceuticals and their are currently 2500opening throughout the industry at any given time.

Gear your resume around sales. Take pictures of all of the awards you have received at Enterprise. You need to come up with a fantastic reason as to why they should hire a retail counter clerk for a regulated position dealing with peoples lives, physicians practices, and FDA approved drugs.

Good luck!
