This is a PSA for the many many people in orthopedics out of work or looking for a better role.
Problem
Too many people write on their resume or LinkedIn profile:
- “I am passionate about innovation in Healthcare Technology”
- “Passionate About Improving Patients’ Lives”
- “Competitive and driven young professional, passionate about sales.”
- “I am passionate about helping patients.”
This is terrific, but it’s useless. We are all “passionate”. This says NOTHING about what you can accomplish for a new employer.
Solution
Instead, it would be more useful to write that catches a hiring managers eyes, such as:
- “I can design and launch new products in just 12 months!” – Show them you’re not just talking; you’re doing.
- “My marketing campaigns boosted ROI by 35% in sales!” – Numbers talk. Prove your worth with hard data.
- “I doubled sales in my territory last year.” – Real results make you a real candidate.
