Any tips for getting a job in pharmaceutical sales/Medical Device Sale, and which companies should I apply to?
Asked by Brandon Thomas
I am a recent college graduate with a Business Administration Degree with an emphasis in Marketing. I am looking to get a pharmaceutical or medical device sales job in the Lexington, KY/Cincinnati, OH or surrounding areas. I was hoping to get some tips from someone in the business, and hopefully make a contact or two. I have a good resume and cover letter-or as good as you can have fresh out of college-but would like someone to point me in the right direction. Also, I wouldn't mind suggestions for companies to apply to. Some that I have applies to already are Pfizer, Sanofi Aventis, Stryker.

Best Answer:
I'd strongly advise using the following job websites: Monster.com Medzilla.com (Pharma/Med Sales Specific site) CareerBuilder.com Hotjobs.com (Yahoo job site) You can also consider starting out as a Contract Pharma Sales Rep with Inventiv, Innovex, or PDI....Many reps got their start this way. I'm seeking a new position myself, and noticed a LOT of Entry Level Pharma Sales opportunities on Monster.com....I'm a 10 year veteran in the Industry, so I'm looking at Experienced Level positions. Good Luck to you! :)
