| Here are some questions that many people have asked me about the the pharmaceutical industry. |
| |
| Q-- Why does everyone want this job? |
| A-- For starters, take a look at the home page of this site. I have broken down the numbers between salary and company perks. The numbers really add up and for someone in your age bracket who has recently graduated from college, this is a tremendous start to your professional career. My book really focuses on the pharaceutical interview process not by telling you what to do, but what to expect if you want to get into this industry. |
| Q-- I am recent college graduate, can I still get a pharmaceutical sales job? |
| A-- Well by now I hope you are aware that this entire book and website has been geared towards recent college graduates just like you! I wirte this book and started this website to educate recent college grads like you how to get into this industry because I am almost sure that you professors probably were to busy to talk to you or just have no clue. If that is not the case, then I am sorry. But I think my prediction and answer are very accurate. "I Wanna Pharma Job: Pharmaceutical Interviews and Jobs Exposed," I will tell you what to do, and what to expect when you begin your search in the pharmaceutical industry. |
| Q-- Do I need a college degree? |
| A-- My answer to this is positively and absolutely yes. If you have seen otherwise, please send me an e-mail. Most if not all of the pharmaceutical companies require a 4 year college degree. Without it, most if not all companies will not consider you. |
| Q--I have a Bachelors in (Insert Your Major Here)? |
| A- I must say that this has really eased over the years. In the old days I was told by some managers and doctors that only registered pharmacists got these jobs. Times have surely changed. Typically some of the college majors of representatives that have been hired are very broad. Some managers are sticklers and want the Biology-Chemistry-Pre-Med majors. Most of the time this is not always true. I was a Political Science major and got into the industry and I knew someone who was an English major. Look, managers hire on your ability, ambition, leadership qualities. My book really captures the essence of this topic. In fact I have devoted a whole section to it. |
| Q-- I have no sales experience? |
| A- There are managers that hire new representatives out of college like you without one shred of sales experience. In fact, managers like candidates like you because you have not been corrupted by another selling model or some other company's way of selling or doing business. Managers want someone who is coachable, driven and wants to succeed. My book breaks down different scenarios of where you may be in the pecking order and tells you what to do in order to get your foot in the door. |
| Q-- How important is my resume? |
| A-- Well, I will say this, I really steered clear of the whole you need a resume and cover letter song and dance. But I have to add that it is really important. I will not underestimate the power of a great resume and cover letter. That goes without saying for any job. My book gives you the option on what to do here. You can either do it yourself or hire someone to do it for you. A poor resume and cover letter is like showing up to a formal in sweat pants. Would you do that? |
| Q-- (Your Question Here) |
| A- After you buy "I Wanna Pharma Job: Pharmaceutical Jobs Exposed," you may have other questions, who knows, if it's a good one, I'll post it on the site for others to see! |
