3 Days To a Pharmaceutical Sales Job Interview, 2008, 5th Edition
3 Days to a Pharmaceutical Sales Job Interview is the best book out there for anyone trying to land a sales position with a pharmaceutical company. It outlines the entire process including a how to create a pharmaceutical sales specific resume that actually gets FOUND when you apply online, several excellent networking tips, most of which I had never thought of, and step by step instructions on getting an interview. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants results in obtaining their dream job of becoming a pharmaceutical sales representative. I greatly enjoyed the book and have suggested it to many on my friends that are looking into entering the field. I thought it was extremely beneficial to read to get a flavor of what a pharmaceutical representative do on a day to day basis and how to break in.<br/><br />There is nothing more to say other than this book was AMAZING! I can't believe how in depth and step-by-step it was. Every concern, worry, or question I had prior to reading this was answered directly. I have read it cover to cover and plan to read it again. Excellent advice that really works! I landed a phone interview AND breezed through it thanks to this book. I was called up by the same company who interviewed me by phone (a MAJOR pharmaceutical company) and asked to fill out and fax my application to them immediately! Thanks to this book, I am prepared for a face-to-face interview and am very confident that I will know what to say, how to act, and that I will at the very least, land a second face-to-face interview! You cannot go wrong with purchasing this book if you are serious about landing a pharm. rep. career! --Tooze<br /><br />.I'm so excited and thankful that I bought this book that I wanted to share my story with everyone who is considering a career in pharma sales. --Amanda C.--Various ReadersThere is nothing more to say other than this book was AMAZING!

I was instantly excited, especially as applying on-line for pharma sales positions was getting me no where! Within 4 days of reading the book I had completely re-written my resume and cover letter, on day 5 it was printed and bound into folders. By day 6 I was ready to go! I only had the afternoon but I couldn't wait any longer. I met 6 reps in 3 hrs, all of whom were very helpful and one of which knew of an opening!!! Amazing! He asked me to call him later that night ...which I did. Day 7, I met the rep again for a coffee and a longer chat. On Day 8 the rep very kindly put me forward for 2 positions within the company! On Day 9 I went through the 1st phone screen....I got through instantly and I was scheduled for the next level phone screen on Day 14! I passed the second phone screen instantly too and on Day 16 I had my first interview with a DM! On day 18 I was in the field with one of their top reps...Day 21 I had an interview with another DM...Both DM's wanted to move me forward to the next level! Day 22 I had an interview with the Regional Business Manager and on Day 23 I WAS OFFERED THE JOB!!!! I start as a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep with J n J in 2 weeks! Unbelievable! From book arriving to job offer in 23 days!!! My friends can't believe it either. They are all reading the book now. I'm so excited and thankful that I bought this book that I wanted to share my story with everyone who is considering a career in pharma sales. --Amanda C.
