Pharmaceutical Resume Distribution Service

My name is on every page of my website.  I have to be very careful about products that advertise on my site or products that I recommend because my reputation is on the line.  I only do business with reputable companies with established track records whose products come with a money-back guarantee.

I have turned down many advertisers (and their money) because I was not comfortable with their product.

I only recommend something when I have used it myself or I have investigated it carefully.  I am please to recommend something called Pharma Resume Blaster.

Pharmaceutical Resume Blaster is a service that is run by two entrepreneurs in California since 2003.  I flew down to California so I could meet with them in person to see for myself how their service worked and make sure they were reputable.

I looked over their operation and I spoke to people who used their services.  That's why I am able to recommend their service.

Background:

The owners of Pharma Resume Blaster have human resources backgrounds.  From their years in the industry, they have developed relationships with a network of more than 750 pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device oriented recruiters all throughout the country.  These recruiters (aka headhunters) specialize in filling sales and marketing positions.

How It Works:

There is a 3-step process to use Pharma Resume Blaster:

1 - You go to the site and enter your contact information (name, address, phone number, etc).

2 - Upload your resume.  (Most people do this by cutting and pasting).

3 - Pay $49.99 by credit card


What Happens Next?

Your resume is automatically e-mailed to more than 750 recruiters all around the country.  If there is a good match, one (hopefully several) recruiters will contact you and interview you over the phone in hopes of sending your information on to your potential employer.

Who should use Pharma Resume Blaster?

The service is open to anyone who is looking for a job in the pharmaceutical, biotech or medical device industry.  You should meet the basic requirements of a typical candidate: 4-year college degree, good written and oral communication skills, etc.

However, the more qualified you are the better your results will be

For example, a person with successful sales experience looking to switch to another company will get more recruiter
inquiries than a person with no experience looking to break into the industry.

Graduates from top schools (like Howard university, Washington University, Temple University, Vassar or any of the Ivy League schools) tend to get many inquiries.

Also, if you have special skills or experiences you can expect better results.  For instance if you are a former professional football player or the captain of your college sports team or a military officer or college cheerleader or something like that you are more desirable to the companies and you will probably get more inquiries.

Is there A Guarantee?

Yes, there is a money back guarantee.  It works like this: If you get no inquiries, at your request, they will re-submit your resume to their network of recruiters within 30 days.  If you are still not satisfied, they will send your resume out one more time.  If you are still not satisfied, they will refund your money.
