The Carolan Group

Why my work from home buddy would make an absolutely abysmal Medical Science Liaison: 🥲 1. He sleeps at his desk for about half the day. 🥲 2. His emotional intelligence is wanting – he is too “chatty” and does not let others speak during Zoom or TEAMS meetings. Nor does he actively listen. 🥲 3. He is a homebody and does not leave the house. He is NOT hitting his metrics or travel requirements!!! 🥲 4. He disregards when KOLs are available and only shows up when HE feels like it. Pro tip: Don’t be like this severe under-performer! Our team at The Carolan Group could never rep him as a candidate... 😂 Wishing you far better success as an MSL! 💪 Tom Caravela, Sarah Snyder, Arielle Perrusio, George Riedel #TheCarolanGroup #TCGTips #MedicalScienceLiaisons #MSLs

With 2025 on the VERY near-term horizon, this quote especially resonated - not only as inspiration to button up 2024 in a productive/positive fashion, but also to take an honest inventory of personal and professional daily habits in order to enhance productivity, well-being, success, and overall happiness in 2025. So blessed to be surrounded by a group of extremely high-achievers at The Carolan Group - these amazing individuals inspire me every day to be better and to adhere to strong habits. If you are looking for a community of inspirational "doers" and achievers who always strive to be better, I'd wholeheartedly recommend following Tom Caravela, Sarah Snyder, Patrina Pellett, PhD, George Riedel, and Arielle Perrusio on #LinkedIn.

🎉 Celebrate people… no matter what! 🎉 Last week, our team at The Carolan Group had an MSL offer declined the day before Thanksgiving. Initially, we all had a normal, reflexive, very “human” reaction – we were a bit bummed. But our candidate elaborated on his decision and reasoning – the other MSL team was focused on a therapeutic area of great passion to him. He felt extremely (and personally) invested in the disease state and wanted to make an impact within that specific patient population. Our MSL candidate was incredibly transparent, respectful, professional… and he ultimately went with his gut. This is advice we give ALL the time, so why should it have changed last week? 👏 In a nutshell, it is important to celebrate those around you. Cheer on their success, whether you had a hand in it or not. The more we seek to uplift others and support them in their career paths and the right decisions for THEM, the better the Medical Affairs community (and the world!) will be. 👏 Congrats to this wonderful candidate, and thank you for the impact you will make for patients! 🤗 #TheCarolanGroup #MSLs #MSLHiring #MedicalAffairsCommunity

I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Antelope Canyon in Navajo Nation last week, a slot canyon marked by wave-like striations and eye-catching curves. The Upper Canyon, which is pictured here, is called “Tse’ bighanilini” by the Navajo; in English, this translates to “the place where water runs through rocks.” During my time here, I thought about how similar life is and the lessons we can draw from this natural wonder: ▶️ Life is not always linear and completely straightforward. ▶️ We can’t always see around the curve or bend we face. ▶️ We are often confronted with the unknown – whether in our career path, in the pursuit of a new job or opportunity, or in life in general. The unknown can be scary, but it also can be exciting and beautiful. If water can find its way through rock, carving a distinctive and stunning path, then we can find a way through any difficulty, any obstacle, and any unknown we face, whether in our career or in our lives. 🌟Water keeps moving. So can we. If you are confronting an unknown or obstacle in life right now, know that you can do it! And you will undoubtedly persevere.🌟 #TheCarolanGroup #YouCanDoIt
