Recommended Steps to using MSL Careers

I recommend that you follow this course of action to get the most out of the offerings available here on MSL Careers:

STEP 1

Get the facts - and the frequently asked questions - about the medical science liaison profession and career.

If you came here because you had recently learned of the medical science liaison (MSL) profession, then you want to read the FAQ.

STEP 2

If you have already jumped the gun and started applying to MSL jobs, and you're wondering why you haven't gotten the favorable response you wanted, then you should head over to the 5 Deadly Mistakes E-course.

This 5 Deadly Mistakes online e-course describes the most common mistakes that thwart an otherwise-qualified aspiring medical science liaison's efforts in breaking into the MSL profession.

You can also sign up for the e-course right here:

Name
Email

Note: After you submitted the form above, you will receive an email to confirm your email address. Once you have confirmed your email address, you will immediately receive the first email in the e-course series (Deadly Mistake #1).

Ideally, you would not send out ANY resumes or apply to ANY MSL jobs UNTIL you have at least completed this minicourse.

STEP 3

Now that you have worked through the 5 Deadly Mistakes, you will have noticed that each of the 5 mistakes has the potential to become an in-depth topic.

I cover 2 such critical aspects of the MSL career strategy in depth:

Visceral understanding of the MSL role, job, and profession

Crafting a compelling MSL resume that gets you noticed

I wrote a book and created a program to equip you with a visceral understanding of the MSL role, job, and profession: All MSLs Started with No MSL Experience! The Guide to Becoming a Medical Science Liaison. (I call it [AMSWNME] for short.)

You will also get

• 10 additional career articles that drills down the specifics of working as a MSL
• A MSL interview template used to evaluate you as a candidate
• A list of MSL interview questions to practice, so you ace the telephone screening and interviews
• LEARN MORE ABOUT ALL MSLS STARTED WITH NO MSL EXPERIENCE

Based on observation of challenges that most MSL job seekers face, I then created an entire program around writing the kind of MSL resumes that will increase the candidate's chances of getting noticed by MSL recruiters and MSL hiring managers, called the 7 Fundamentals of a Compelling MSL Resume. (I call it [7FUNDAMENTALS] for short.)

I actually created this program after learning about a MSL job seeker who paid a professional resume writer over $700 to get her resume written but was unable to use it because it did not work for the MSL job. I was so upset when heard about this that I decided to give other aspiring MSLs the right approach for the MSL job market so they don't waste their time and money for something that's not going to work.

With this program you also get:
• Transcript of the entire 80+ minute teleseminar
• 2 Versions of MSL resume templates to adapt to your unique strengths
• Bonus 50+ minute MSL Careers Q&A
• GET 7 FUNDAMENTALS COURSE AS PART OF THE MSL BOOK UPGRADE

These 2 products are both necessary for you to master if you want to get anywhere on your MSL job search because:

If you do not know how to present yourself "on paper" (your resume), then you will not even get close to the people who have the power to hire you or give you a job offer. Your resumes will disappear into the big black hole of the internet,

If you do get in front of the people who have the power, but you do not demonstrate a visceral understanding of the MSL role, then you will waste the one precious and rare chance you have to compete for an employment offer as a MSL.

For a limited time (Until the end of 2010 year) - I am making both programs available for one package price, as an "Upgrade" from the book membership.

NEED CUSTOM CONSULTING?

If you need a private and confidential consulting session with me instead, you can book a private consult with me. As part of the consult I will probably make available certain resources like the résumé course for you to use for a specific period of time. I also have a special page on the Vault for MSL career consults that aims to enhance your learning experience and serves additional value for you. Please use the below button to purchase your consult to make sure that you gain access to the registration page specific to this purpose!
