3 Days to a Pharmaceutical Sales Job Interview

This book is terrific. I have read two other books on the subject of interviewing for Pharmaceutical Sales. I have been a rep now for 4 years. I read the earlier editions which are similar, but I wanted to see the changes in the newest edition. The book was esential to me breaking into the industry. I had the experience I needed, but the book helped me to put my experience into the correct format for the interview. I had interviewed several times, but was never able to make it to the final round. I read the book before my last interview before getting into the industry. I give the book a lot of credit for helping me mold my interview answers. I have also used and recommended the book to others that I have trained for the interview process. I have interested candidates read the book before we even begin the mock interview process. It is essential and should be read by anyone interested in the industry. I am also using the book to review the interview questions in the book to refresh me for new opportunities when I interview for new jobs. Lisa Lane stays current and gives great pointers for the industry. I'm sure that if you read this book you will have an edge over the competition during the interview process.

A must for interviews!

While I don't want to be too overwhelmingly excited, I have to say "Wow"! I am so glad that I picked this book out of all the books on pharm sales and interviews. So far, it has been right on the money and really has answered all the questions that I have been asked in all my interviews. It gives good insight as to what type of person they are looking for and what answers or personality quirks that might throw up a red flag and disqualify a prospect. I am a firm beleiver in being yourself and this book helps interviewees how to let their inner sales person shine so that the interviewer can see thier full potential.

Well worth it....really works!

I have worked as a Chemist in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing for about four years and have always had an interest in Pharmaceutical Sales. Lack of sales experience had been a major setback in landing a Pharmaceutical Sales position until I purchased this book. After completing the three day course, and realizing there were ways to get around lack of sales experience, I landed five interviews with top Pharmaceutical Companies such as Aventis, Novartis, First Horizon, GSK and Berlex labs. Interviews went well and I recently accepted a position as a Pharmaceutical Sales Consultant with Berlex Labs. I wanted to encourage anyone and everyone with a drive to purchase this book. Well worth the money and it really works!Best regards,Brent

Very good book with tips that really work!

It took me just 2 days to land my first interview with Hawthorn Pharmaceuticals. The first day of using the program, I met 5 different district managers and they were so impressed by what I was doing to break into this field. I owe it all to this book. The best news of all is that I also got a call from Pfizer and am interviewing with them next week. I met one of their reps using this program. This program is a must for people who are looking to land interviews in this industry. I am a prime example of how a 24 year old recent graduate with very little sales experience can land an interview. With a little Lisa Lane (author) guidance and initiative anyone can do it. Kent

Outstanding publication.

I bought the 3rd Edition of this book (2004-2005 edition). This is by far the most up to date information on the industry that I have seen. It has great contact information for companies, recruiters, pharma job sites, great creative tips for writing a resume that really stands out, a great comprehensive section on interviewing (most of the questions that I was asked were covered in this book), and most of all, great ways to find unadvertised openings. I uncovered 5 openings in my area by using these tips. It really is an outstanding publication. Bookstore quality, great graphics, a great resource and fun to read. Apparently, there was another edition of this book which wasn't sold in bookstores which wasnt bookstore quality but this one definitely is....highly recommended!
