Posted ByKylie PerkinsA job as a pharmaceutical sales rep is one of the dream careers for fresh graduates. The biggest lure is its high basic salary and total financial remuneration. In developed country like the US, pharmaceutical industry has reached a stage where becoming a rep requires different craft and set of competency. Luckily, it does not yet spread to other region which makes the opportunity is still up for grab.
After been involved with the industry for slightly over a decade, I have observed some important points for fresh graduates to consider if they are interested in applying for a sales position. It is a fact that graduates with science background have a slight advantage over others but that is not a must; it does help but not an absolute must. I have seen recruits that come from mix education background from biomedical sciences to law.
Before I proceed, let me share something real quick over here: I was a sales manager with four persons reporting directly to me and four others who are under my supervision but not directly report to me. The point I am trying to make is: I know what it is like to be a manager.
Building business relationships in your own network with the goal of landing jobs in pharmaceutical sales careers is also important. Rather than being one of the nameless hundreds of candidates who apply for each job opening, it is much better to be the first one to be recommended for positions when they come up.
Even medications that are thrown away end up in a landfill. Then eventually the drugs get into the soil and this can end up going on through into the water system as well. However, although it is clean how these drugs could end up in the system, how do www.ltcint.org drugs get in drinking water and get past the treatment plants that are supposed to keep our water safe?
The main benefit to my way of thinking is the benefit to our heart. Omega 3s help to reduce the severity of heart attacks. At the same time they are helping to thin our blood and reduce blood pressure. Taking an Omega 3 supplement on a regular basis helps to stabilize our hearts rhythm.
Overseas studies have shown that taking an Omega-3 supplement helps to combat certain types of mental illness. A shortfall in the amount of DHA in our brain leads to a low level of serotonin which in turn makes you susceptible to bouts of depression and mood swings.
When you first join the pharmaceutical company, are you aiming for the highest rank you could climb or you just want to have a comfortable lifestyle? If you pick is the latter then notice the fact that becoming a manager would not provide you with that. In fact, it will take you far from it and you will end-up living in despair. I have seen far too many occasions to share here but the root of the matter is always the same: disillusion.
