Why Should I Register?

This is a new and exciting career site. To make it successful, there must be a dynamic interaction between pharmaceutical sales professionals, the pharmaceutical companies which hire them, and the recruiters who place them. Those who post their sales positions onto a site which is as elite and focused as this one, will lose interest if they do not see an impressive universe of sales professionals in the database through which they may search for suitable new hires. Thus, even though this site is still in its growth stage, it is important that as many sales professionals as possible, and as early as possible, register and submit their resumes quickly in order to populate the sales professional database.

How Should I Register?

Registering is simple, and takes just a few minutes. Go to Sales Professional Registration, and after reviewing the terms and conditions, you will be asked to (1) choose and enter a User Name (your email address) and Password, (2) enter some personal and professional information about yourself, and (3) attach and submit your resume.

What If I Don't See My Company, Product Experience Or Market Experience?

We have made every effort to standardize pharmaceutical company names, products and market experience. If individuals and companies use identical words to describe and search, matching individuals with jobs will be a snap. We have taken the names of the pharmaceutical companies right out of the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) and other sources, using wherever possible the complete name the companies use. For products and product categories, we have as well gone to the PDR with its comprehensive list, and other sources. In an effort to cover most bases, some products are listed, some categories are listed, and yet others are simply descriptive. Under Position, we have combined such titles as sales representative, pharmaceutical sales representative, field representative, territory manager, PSR and others under the single catchwords of Sales Representative. Thus, we urge you to examine the listed products and product categories, the market experience and the company names, and select those which most effectively describe you and your experience. If the name of your company, your product experience or your market experience is not included in the corresponding dropdown box, please select Other and drop us an email.

Why Should I Enter Personal and Professional Information?

Unlike most of the other career sites, which use key word searches to identify resumes, we believe there is a better way. Who is in the best position to identify your experience? You are. Who can best identify the markets you call on, the products you work with? You can. Thus, when you register, employers and recruiters will be able to search for you based on the information you have provided about yourself. Furthermore, with our improved search tools, they will be able to search for you by location, by product experience, by market experience, or by any combination of these and other keys. At the end of the form you will be offered the opportunity to review the information you have provided. You are then given an opportunity to edit or otherwise correct any entries before attaching your resume and submitting it to the confidential resume database. Once registered, by using your User Name and Password you may access and edit your information and resume any time you wish.

Is My Information Viewable To Anyone Other Than Employers and Recruiters?

Absolutely not. No other sales professionals or other casual site visitor may view your information or your resume. Only those who have contracted with Go2PharmSales.com will be permitted access to your information. And even then, you may block the access of any companies you specify.

Is My Information Absolutely Confidential?

Absolutely confidential. The system is designed to keep out intruders, and you will note just above the personal information you fill out that there is a complete listing of pharmaceutical companies. Before proceeding further you may select one or more of those companies to prevent them from accessing your information. This offers you, of course, the opportunity to prevent your own employer from viewing your information and seeing that you are considering other opportunities. It provides excellent protection.

We have learned also that some sites are suspected of selling the e-mail addresses of individuals who register with their site. Go2PharmSales.com will never share your email address or other contact information with anyone other than employers and recruiters who have contracted with Go2PharmSales.

Must I Register With The Site If I Want To Search Through Sales Opportunities (Job Bank)?

Of course not. It is to the advantage of those posting positions to let the maximum number of people view those jobs and submit their resumes if they are interested. If you find a position you wish to apply for, however, you must register and submit your resume via the tools available on this site. It's important that the employers and recruiters know that their Go2PharmSales.com membership is producing results.

How Long Will My Resume Remain On The Site?

Your information and resume remain active for 180 days. We'll send you an email notice on the 170th day reminding you that the registration will expire in 10 days. If you wish to renew it for another 180 days, you will be given that option. If you take no action it will expire and be deleted from the database at the end of 180 days.

What If I Forget My Password?

If you log in and receive a notice that you have used an invalid password, you will be given a prompt to either Click Here (if you've lost your Password), or to Continue. If you select Continue, you will return to login. If you select Click Here, you will receive an email which gives you your password.

How Do I Change Or Edit The Information Or Resume I Have Submitted?

Once you have registered, you may go to login and enter your User Name and Password. You will be linked to the Sales Professional Forum, where these options are available.

How Do I Search For A Job?

Go to Sales Opportunities. With the additional tools we have created on this site to search sales opportunities, you can search by location, product experience, market familiarity, company, position, or any combination of those (and others). Since the only individuals who use this site are pharmaceutical sales professionals (or those who wish to become one), and the only ones posting openings are pharmaceutical companies and recruiters wishing to identify quality sales professionals, this job search process is refreshingly efficient and flexible.

 

How Is This Site Different?

This elite site distinguishes itself from all other career sites on the web by being only about pharmaceutical sales professionals and the pharmaceutical companies and sales recruiters interested in contacting them. You all speak the same language. You all know the industry. You don't have to explain yourself or your meaning. This is an elite site, and it is focused exclusively on its target.

Does This Site Charge Higher Prices?

With the endless variety of pricing packages in use by other career sites, it is difficult to match identical packages and compare prices. In general, we believe we have established our prices somewhat below the large career sites. Wherever our prices fall, however, we believe there is strong support for our pricing. First, as mentioned above, this is an elite site. There are no others like it. It is focused and dedicated to the premise that specialty career sites are far more effective and productive. Also, there is only a small, elite universe of potential members. The number of potential users of this site - pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical sales recruiters - is finite. Unlike the larger, monster career sites which attempt to be all things to all people, there are only so many pharmaceutical companies or recruiters who will find value in using this site. Also, the universe of pharmaceutical sales professionals, while perhaps not exactly finite, certainly contains a smaller number of potential job seekers than those who might post their resumes on the unrestricted sites. Thus, the prices on this site reflect its smaller and more specialized market.

Can Anyone Who Visits Go2PharmSales.com View Our Jobs?

Yes. There is no prior requirement that individuals register with our site before viewing your jobs. Our position on this is that the more resumes you receive as a result of jobs posted on our site, the more satisfied you will be - and thus the more inclined you will be to post additional jobs. Indeed, anyone who wishes to do so may view your jobs.

How Long Will Our Jobs Remain On The Site?

Your jobs will be posted on our site for 45 days. On the 35th day after posting you will be notified via e-mail that the posting will be deleted in 10 days. At that time you will have the option of letting it expire on schedule, electing a new package, or reposting the job(s) for an additional 45 days.

May We Search Through The Sales Professional Database?

Yes, if you choose a package which includes the sales professional search capability. We have designed search tools which we believe you will find superior in all respects. We have arranged for you to search through the sales professional database by using such key identity selectors as location, product familiarity, market familiarity, and education. We also created more flexible, more definitive search tools which are on no other career site, and which are invaluable in pharmaceutical sales recruiting. These tools are proprietary and may be viewed only by those who have registered with a user name and password.

Will The Database Contain Resumes Of Non-Pharmaceutical Sales Professionals?

Yes. Knowing that in some circumstances - principally expansions - pharmaceutical companies hire men and women whose sales experience is in business-to-business products, services and other areas, we have arranged for them to submit their information and resumes to a separate section which you may search. Moreover, we have even set aside an additional search capability for you to view the registration of college graduates with limited professional (non-sales) experience who wish to enter into a pharmaceutical sales career. The registrations of these non-pharmaceutical salespeople will not come up if your search is targeted strictly at experienced pharmaceutical sales professionals. But they are there if you need them and want to take a look.

Can We Edit Or Change Our Jobs Once They Have Been Posted?

No. We offer you the opportunity to review and edit your jobs before final submission, but once posted, they are posted. We do offer you the option of deleting a position if you do not want it to remain posted for the entire 45 days, but it cannot be changed.

Can We List Alternate Locations For Our Sales Jobs?

Realizing that a sales representative might suitably reside in a different city within a sales territory (or in the case of field sales managers, different states within districts or regions), we do offer you the opportunity to list an optional location through the use of telephone area codes.
