Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
I bring over 20 years of pharma marketing and strategy experience to every engagement, with Merck, Pfizer, J&J, and Genentech, including leading the global interactive launch of Gardasil. You get a coach who has hired, managed, and worked alongside the commercial teams you want to join, so you'll know what hiring managers actually look for. My process: - Discovery session: we assess your background, goals, timeline, and gaps, and build a custom roadmap. - Structured sessions: we meet biweekly (or weekly during peak recruiting). Each session has a clear objective and ends with action items. - Real deliverables: we work on your actual resume, LinkedIn profile, outreach, and interview answers in session, not just talk about them. - Between-session support: send me drafts, job postings, or interview invites anytime for async feedback. - AI-powered edge: I use AI tools to speed up research, company targeting, and outreach, so you work smarter than the competition. My style: Direct, practical, and accountable. I'll tell you what's working, what isn't, and exactly what to do next. My goal isn't just coaching, it's getting you the offer.

Land Your Next Role Faster — Coaching from a Fortune 500 Advisor
Land Your Next Role Faster – Resume, Strategy & Interview Coaching from a Fortune 500 Advisor Most career coaches help you polish your resume. I help you find the blind spot – the positioning gap, the missing story, or the strategic angle that's keeping you from getting the interviews and offers you deserve. I'm Eric Markowitz, a Commercial Innovation Advisor and certified executive coach with 20+ years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies including Merck, Pfizer, AT&T, IBM, and Johnson & Johnson. As a certified Mindvalley Lead Coach – one of 20 selected from 7,000 applicants globally – I've coached 100+ executives, founders, and senior professionals through career transitions, role pivots, and high-stakes job searches. I specialize in helping: Mid-to-senior professionals pivoting into new industries or functions Consultants and advisors translating advisory experience into results-driven resumes Executives repositioning after a transition or gap Professionals targeting pharma, healthcare, technology, and financial services roles Anyone who knows they're qualified but can't figure out why the interviews aren't converting In a session we can cover: Resume strategy and rewriting – making your experience quantifiable and compelling even when your impact was advisory or indirect LinkedIn positioning – building a profile that attracts recruiters rather than just checking boxes Job search strategy – targeting the right roles, companies, and contacts for maximum velocity Interview preparation – crafting your narrative, answering tough questions, and positioning your unique value Salary negotiation – knowing your number and defending it with confidence My approach is direct, practical, and specific. I won't tell you what sounds good – I'll tell you what works, based on what I've seen from the other side of the table advising the organizations that hire people like you. Book a session and come ready to move fast.
