A checklist before sending your first resume to a medical equipment company

Answer these five questions before you send a resume.

1. Which role are you after? Sales, service, clinical application and trade each want a different resume. One generic resume for all of them is usually good for none.

2. Devices and brands you know If you worked with a device at university or in an internship, name it. That is far stronger than 'I am interested'.

3. One concrete sample A project, an internship report or even a small market analysis beats a list of courses.

4. City and travel readiness For sales and service roles, where you live and whether you can travel matters. Say it plainly.

5. A tidy file PDF, a clear file name, two pages at most.
