Here is the ultimate guide to landing that highly sought after position of Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, a position that, to attain, has become more competitive than getting into most law schools. Why? Because of the many benefits and perks of the positions. Allow me to explain....
As a Pharmaceutical Rep, right from the start, you receive a company car, an expense account, a very generous base salary with unlimited bonus potential, and finally, autonomy. This is a territory position, within a sales district, and you may spend one day a month with your manager. YOU set your schedule.....YOU see who you need to see....YOU run your territory as you see fit. Furthermore, you are only responsible for one person....YOU! I can tell you without hesitation that it is one of the most rewarding positions you may ever have.
Think about it.....you are in an industry, that, despite claims by some politicians to the contrary, aims to and does help people live healthier lives. The U.S. pharmaceutical industry develops 90% of the drugs that are available to the world population. This is not an easy process either, as it is a high risk/high reward proposition. Nevertheless, the work is noble, from the duties of the CEO down to the representative level. You can be a part of it.
The other benefit that many people don't think about is that you learn about a variety of disease states that may have an impact on your life personally. Knowledge is power! And, you develop personal relationships with your customers....physicians, who are among the most knowledgeable people within your community. And, it does not hurt to count doctors among your personal and professional acquaintances!
So, the big question is, "How do I land that Pharma Job?" As a rep myself for 14 years, I finally sat down to prepare a guide for those starting out. I thought about all of the things I wish I had known. I thought about ways to get one's foot in the door, better answers to challenging interview questions, and how to best translate my prior education and work experience into a convincing argument for a position in the industry. After conducting research online, I found that the work had already been done better than I could myself! That is why I strongly endorse the e-books available at the link below. Not only does one provide the key insights to landing the job, the second provides all of the secrets to excelling at it! They can be purchased separately, though, if this is your dream, aim to read and apply both. Beyond that, the resume service and live coaching go above and beyond that which I could have provided!
Good luck in your new career as a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep!
