The MSL job search can be frustrating...

 

Even though you are a high performing scientist or clinician, you may feel ignored. 

 

So how can you ''Get Noticed''?

 

Showcasing YOUR transferable skills is the most effective way to land your first MSL role.

What students say after completing Aspire MSL:

Landing the first MSL role is tough! Aspire MSL  gave me the motivation and support that I needed to keep pursuing this dream and to be ready when the opportunity arose. I will be forever thankful to Tom and Sarah for their work on this program. While many of the resources to support a successful MSL job hunt are available online, the modules saved me a ton of time by organizing the key information into bite-sized chunks with meaningful exercises to help me apply what I learned. The community of other aspiring MSLs helped to motivate me and keep me going when it seems like I wasn't making progress. The most valuable aspect, that I would have paid for on its own, was the individualized support (e.g., resume feedback, presentation feedback, Q&A). Having the ability to have my questions answered by someone with decades of experience in medical affairs was priceless, especially during the interview process. I cannot wait to start my new MSL role!

 
SIMON HIGGINS PREVIOUS ASPIRING MSL

After I completed the Networking module, I realized I was going about networking on LinkedIn all wrong. In fact, I didn't realize the messages I was sending were hurting me instead of helping me.

The course helped me save time and energy and meet the right people to actually score interviews. The neat part is that the people I networked with to ultimately get my MSL position are some of my coworkers now.

Learning how to network properly doesn't just help you land the job, it actually helps you to be a really good MSL and get better access to KOLs.

SPECIALTY PHARMACIST PREVIOUS ASPIRING MSL

The insights and confidence gained from the Aspire modules have proven incredibly beneficial. I've seen a significant improvement in the relevance when I search for positions and I had nearly three times the number of search appearances this week.

I've also come across more job opportunities where I confidently see myself as a top applicant. I'm looking forward to the possibilities ahead and am now equipped with the confidence to actively pursue and explore new opportunities.

Monica, PharmD- Arizona

 

I was expecting Aspire MSL to help me but I wasn't expecting to connect with others and make true friends. I feel a sense of loyalty and belonging and like I'm not alone in this dream!

TOM, PHD AND ASPIRING MSL

 I finally landed my first phone interview! I'm so excited! I tried for 14 months on my own before joining Aspire MSL.

STACY, RETAIL PHARMACIST AND ASPIRING MSL

Here are a few common ways Aspiring MSLs get stuck:

  • You send your CV in only to get an automatic rejection (knowing no one looked at it).

 

  • You know you have the skills to be an MSL but just can't get 'noticed'.

 

  • You ALMOST get the offer but are beat out by others with more experience.

 

  • You get ghosted by recruiters and hiring managers.

You can avoid these roadblocks and follow a blueprint to becoming an MSL. 

 

Aspire MSL teaches you to showcase YOUR skills so that you can land your first role.
