You didn't build rapport in the OR by talking about yourself, right? 
❔So HOW do you share your value without bragging on a resume?
❔Where do you even START after not needing a resume for 10+ years?

I get it, I do. And this is my specialty.

After 5 Layoffs and scouring 16,000+ resumes -- I built a system 
(my award-winning Triple S System: https://tinyurl.com/MyTripleSSystem)

And now, I help people land meaningful roles in medical sales with

⚡ Resumes 
⚡ Networking Strategy
⚡ Building Personal Brands on LinkedIn 

I apply the exact system I used to:

⚡ Build authority
⚡ Market myself as the product
⚡ Become the 'obvious choice' over dozens of candidates

...so they win ideal roles at ideal healthcare companies for ideal pay.

But in this business, we're skeptics, right?

It's #hiring season at Traction -- and not JUST for our clients, but for ourselves.

We're looking for the diamond in the rough because every client we help get hired means another *patient* and *provider* gets the support they need.

Please RESHARE to help us find that diamond!

Can't WAIT to meet you.

Creative Writer, Medical Sales & Healthcare Branding
At Traction Resume, we’re looking for a fiercely curious, deeply empathetic creative contract writer who is obsessed with understanding what makes people tick and why that matters to the people they want to hire them. This person is equally excited to be with a company that is on a growth trajectory.

This storyteller is passionate about translating that insight into powerful, human-centered resumes and personal branding materials that help medical sales and healthcare leaders reclaim confidence at pivotal career moments. If one of this person's secret claims to fame is regularly noting typos in the novels they read, we'll have *a lot* in common.

This role is for a natural deep thinker and eager collaborator -- someone who stokes the fire of others and knows how to earn trust quickly; ask questions that illicit backstory, context, and character; extract character and credibility from complex careers; and write with clarity, urgency, and grace—especially when clients are navigating fear, transition, or high-stakes opportunity.

Ideal candidates bring proven past success in medical sales and/or healthcare environments, a strong grasp of industry language and expectations, and hands-on experience in client or account management, balancing precision, professionalism, and *high-emotional intelligence* while delivering exceptional work under deadlines that matter.

Grace - Integrity - Urgency...are our pillars and if they're on the side of no-AI in personal branding, we'll get along swimmingly!

Due to our client base and consistent collaboration, only US-based writers will be considered.

IF THIS IS YOU: Please send your non-AI enhanced resume, cover letter, and references to Hello@TractionResume.com to be considered. Applications will be accepted by 1/15/2026. If selected, the candidate will speak with Claire directly and in-depth regarding pay, projects, and role details.

Fair warning: if AI is detected in your materials, you're unlikely to be considered.

>> Kindly Title Your Email: Creative Writing is my Jam <<

It's been *too long* since you got a present.
I've got 7 Free 2-MONTH Trials of Premium 
and I'm not afraid to share 'em!

DM Me PREMIUM, if you'd like one.

I'll share my link with the first 7 and we'll use 'em till they're gone.

Thank you to LinkedIn for their generosity and Dominic Imwalle for reminding me about these. 

Happy Saturday!

Of the 6 Basic Human Needs, harnessing just 2 will instantly take your networking from 🦗 crickets and 🧊 cold calls to...

...engaged conversations and relationship foundations. 🔆

 What are they?...

Significance & Connection

What does it feel like when someone thoughtfully comments on your post?

Or connects with a personal message that indicates they actually read your About section or work experience? 

🥰

Appreciated? Heard? Understood?

It's science.

Those kind of comments instantly forge a bond 🪢 between creator and reader -- and the connections become both relevant and genuine.

So, how do you do this?
(yes, even in Medical Sales...)

Spend more time commenting than posting.

Trust me.

And, yeah -- throw a compliment in there if you admire something about their work.

Even better -- ask "how" they got there.

Seriously, it's that simple. 😎

And the other 4? 

Certainty, Variety, Growth, & Contribution.

Tap into making others (and yourself) feel Significant and Connected.

Did you try it? 👇

Spicy take
Is it the soft OR hard skills 
that are derailing your interview?

My take…

both.

Both are important, but they need to be showcased in a way that conveys value.

Otherwise, they'll fall flat.

An easy way to show how you’ve used BOTH soft or hard skills to achieve results is this:

(Result + Metric) by (Method), (Stakes/Relevance) 

An example is:

Reduced turnover by 85% by mentoring internal sales talent in weekly 30-minute sessions, despite the launch of competing drug in the region.

(S)he who conveys the value best -- wins!

I could write a book about you

seriously.

Here are a few things I could cover based on what my clients said this month:

>> getting in with impossible-to-reach people
>> supporting colleagues through hardship
>> how to inspire demotivated teams
>> leadership in a volatile market
>> marrying sales + marketing
>> consulting in new markets
>> parenting with autonomy
>> hiring for fit > function
>> commercialization

...and more

So when we condense someone's brilliance -- their System for Success -- in these areas, it's an art.

This slider is an example of how we distilled one of the most motivational, loved, and trusted women in medical sales from 5 pages of wins and war stories...

down to 2.

2 Powerfully Written Branding Pages

(aka, a resume)

>> And the point of it all can be found on slide 16 <<

Congrats, Kellie. 
Well-deserved!

And after 16,000 Medical Sales Resumes, riding 5X layoffs in the medical sales industry, and helping 105 of 110 clients land roles last year -- I'm feeling pretty solid that I can sort out your complicated career story for you.

I've heard it all. Trust me.

So if you're looking to...Get In...Get Back In...Stay In...Medical Sales -- and you need a hand, send me a DM.

I'm ready to make this a whole lot easier on you.

Resume Transformation

"Claire -- my posts are getting no traction..."
"My networking is getting no traction..."
The truth?

>>> it's all about having a system <<<

Just like working out -- I mean, my treadmill IS downstairs, but unless I plan for it, it's juuuuust not happening today.

And what happens then? 

>> if your posts are flailing and you're feeling like quitting

>> or your networking feels plateaued and you're just going to stay in that job you hate.

Well, this one's for you.

1. You need a system
2. then, you can work that system
3. You have *not* networked with everyone yet

(I mean, unless your rolodex is crossing 274,000 today -- you've not yet even tapped all medical sales directors on LinkedIn.)

Yep.

...and that is JUST a "director, medical sales" search

We've not even considered searching:

Medtech > Manager
Medical Sales > Hiring
Pharmaceutical Sales > Hiring
Distributor Representative > Hiring
Biotech > Regional Manager > Hiring
and so on...

In short, there are LOTS of levers to pull.

And you know me -- I love a *system*

So when it comes to networking, I like to use our 5-5-5 approach. 

TRY THIS:

>> Reach out to 5 people you KNEW
>> 5 people you KNOW 
>> and 5 people you WANT TO KNOW
(hello Linkedin Searches and 2nd connections)

This helps to revive your old connections, nurture your current ones, and stay engaged with new people who are active in the arena where you want to be seen.

SANITY SAVER:

Network with these 5-5-5 every work day
and once you've done it, check it off your list.

Don't spend your entire day scrolling and networking 
and you'll avoid burnout that can happen 
with a robust (but overloaded) 
networking strategy.

You've got this!

Do you have a networking routine? 

DM me today if you'd like help building one.

-Claire

Director/Instructor

Helping Medical Sales Professionals get the job they WANT by giving them the English Skills they need.

If you are a medical sales rep, you know you need to change when:

-You feel embarrassed when people don’t understand you
-You don’t contribute to meetings because of your English
-That next promotion is just out of reach or
-You don’t have the confidence to apply for it.

You know if you don’t change

-You’ll be stuck where you are forever
-You’ll miss opportunities to advance
-You won’t be able to support yourself or your family the way you would like to

With my help you can improve your communication skills

-You will expand your Business English vocabulary to better express yourself and write professional business emails in English.
-Colleagues will understand you
-You’ll apply for that new promotion you’ve been wanting

My 10-week program is specifically designed for Medical Sales Professionals.

I started out many years ago as an x-ray technologist but moved quickly into teaching. Over the next 20 years I worked as a medical sale rep and as a Business English Communications teacher at Community College and or the Federal Government. 
I met many coworkers from around the world who wanted to move into larger territories or into management positions but who were held back by their limited English communication skills. 

So I designed a program to help.

Recommendation:
 I have always said without Joan as my teacher/instructor I wouldn’t have made it through my MRT course.  I struggled with the physics and she was able to break it down and explain it to me until I could understand it.  She didn’t give up on me. I’m Forever grateful  Shelley Hannah, former student.

Recommendation:
My English has improved since starting to study with Joan. She is a good teacher. I feel more confident speaking English at work. Joan makes me feel comfortable to study with her. Kodjo Akakpo, Medical Business English Client

Recommendation:

Joan Collins Burt really offers one of the most unique and helpful business that I've seen on LinkedIn.  Helping Medical Sales Reps into Leadership roles when their English skills are holding them back.  A true 1 of 1.  Bravo Joan! ERIK Grahavoc
