REFERENCE: START UP MEDICAL DEVICE- GAME CHANGING TECHNOLOGY
Greetings,
I was referred to you by Linked In regarding your career opportunity available in Med Device. I have been in healthcare primarily
in the dental industry for over 13 years and have been in Med Device 6 of those 13 years. I have a passion and a natural
clinical/technical ability to understand and learn medical applications in detail and communicate them effectively to the physician
to create trust and to ultimately grow adoption.
I am a demonstrated achiever with a solid technical and business background. During my tenure I have also developed a large
network of business and personal relationships throughout Florida based on a high level of professionalism and trust. These
contacts and relationships will benefit greatly with the penetration and growth of our market if I were to be a part of your sales
organization. I am highly skilled at learning new concepts quickly, working comfortably under pressure and communicating
concepts clearly and effectively. There is a cross-cultural advantage as well that I bring to the table, as I am fully tri-lingual in
English, Spanish and Portuguese.
I believe I can contribute very positively to the long-term growth and profitability your client because of my education,
experience, business relationships and corporate background.
I look forward to the opportunity of having a face to face interview at your earliest convenience. Attached is my resume for your
review and consideration.
Best Regards,
Edward Ortega
