Day 6: Highlight Leadership, Education & Projects
If you’ve ever led a code, taught a resident, or redesigned a workflow, you’ve already demonstrated the kind of leadership pharma is looking for—you just might not be writing about it that way.
🌟 Today’s Tip: Include the Roles That Show You Can Lead, Teach, or Build
Nonclinical hiring managers—especially in pharma, consulting, and public health—want to see that you’re more than just a doer. They’re looking for clinicians who can lead, collaborate, teach, and drive change.
👉 Action Steps for Today:
1. Make a Leadership List
Think about times you’ve:
• Supervised residents or nurses
• Led quality improvement initiatives
• Chaired a committee
• Developed or implemented new protocols
All of this belongs on your resume.
2. Show Teaching & Mentorship
• “Mentored 6 medical students through clinical rotations and career advising”
• “Led hospital-wide workshop on physician wellness”
2. Include Projects—Even if They Weren’t Paid
Volunteer work, advocacy, academic projects, mission trips—all of it counts when framed correctly.
Example for an ED Doctor Demonstrating Matrix Leadership:
“Coordinated interdisciplinary teams to execute time-sensitive protocols during high-acuity resuscitations, demonstrating matrix leadership and rapid consensus-building under pressure.”
This tells a pharma hiring manager:
✅ You know how to lead across departments
✅ You’re skilled at aligning diverse stakeholders
✅ You can perform in complex, dynamic environments
Those are exactly the traits that translate to cross-functional roles in drug development, medical affairs, safety, and beyond.
Your Takeaway:
Leadership isn’t just about titles—it’s about impact. If you’ve improved a system, trained a team, or led a project, that belongs on your resume.
