She’s ready for more, and she’s not leaving it to chance. An experienced MSL we know has big plans. Next year, she wants that promotion.
But she’s not waiting for the role to open. She’s getting ready now:
→ Updating her resume
→ Tightening her LinkedIn
→ Getting clear on the impact she’s delivered
Because she knows what too many smart people forget:
Your next big role won’t come from doing more work, it’ll come from showing the value of the work you’ve already done.
And if your resume isn’t doing that, it’s holding you back.
That changes today.
Inside this issue: Below are three ways to make your story, and your visibility, stronger starting today.
1. Show What Changed Because of You
This is the #1 mistake we see, even among top performers.
→ “Engaged with KOLs.” → SNOOZEFEST
→ “Led 25 KOL meetings per month that generated 3 new investigator collaborations and improved trial enrollment by 10%.” → UNFORGETTABLE
Hiring managers don’t remember tasks. They remember outcomes. Impact is what gets you promoted.
