Whether you’ve just earned a marketing degree or you’re thinking about a career change, choosing a growing industry that offers continuous challenges can put you on the path to career success. Among the top industries booming in the U.S. today are biotech, pharmaceuticals, and the medical device industry. If you’re looking for a marketing career, keep these three fields on your list.

Biotech

Biotechnology is fast becoming the “wave of the future” in medical production. Even many pharmaceutical companies are expanding into this field. While the biotech sales and marketing job market is highly competitive, its cutting-edge nature is also highly attractive to marketing types seeking a more entrepreneurial approach to their work. Talk to a staffing firm that specializes in connecting sales and marketing reps to the biotech industry to learn how to tailor your own job search to the intense entrepreneurial nature of this industry.

Pharmaceuticals

Marketers in pharmaceutical companies focus on how best to present new medications to doctors, hospitals, and patients. And there’s good news for marketing professionals: Many major pharmaceutical companies place a higher emphasis on marketing experience than they do on knowing the details of the pharmaceutical field. An associated marketing position, such as one with a medical supply company or healthcare provider, can help you launch a career with a pharmaceutical company. Or you can work with a recruiter to find a temp job or internship that will help you decide whether pharmaceutical marketing is right for you.

Medical Devices

Despite recent legislation imposing a sales tax on medical devices ranging from computerized implants to surgical gloves, the medical device industry in the U.S. shows no sign of slowing down. Marketing professionals who have experience handling product positioning may do well in the medical device industry, where concrete “items” and their benefits are still front and center in the marketing conversation. Since medical device marketing focuses on B2B sales, experience in this field can prepare a marketing professional for a successful mid-career shift into medical devices. Your staffing firm can help you match your background with the details of available medical device industry positions.
