This book gives some good solid advice re. interview questions and answers, and helped me rev up my resume to 5 star quality. However, a lot of the advice on how to get the interview in "3 days" is either not the big brand new idea this book makes it out to be (ie asking around at the pharmacy, docs offices), or it sounds like a horrible idea. Spend a day in a physician's parking lot stopping pharma reps as they try to enter the building to do their job, and bug them again on their way out? The author assures you most reps are outgoing and friendly people who are alone most of the day so they won't mind talking to you at all. Really? So they won't all try to avoid the wannabe rep hanging around their car in the cold parking lot?
The "free software" the book gives you (List on Disc) of Pharmaceutical/Medical companies and their locations, websites and phone numbers is only somewhat helpful. It was easy to download and nice that it could be organized by location, but about 50% of the websites were incorrect. I'm not sure if that many have gone out of biz since 2008, or if this list just needs to be updated.
I did give it 3 stars bc it answered a lot of my questions (what about contract companies? what about these scam artist sounding pharma sales "certification classes" offered on the internet? what do I put in a brag book?)
If youre going to buy just 1 book-- don't make this the one! But it is a nice resource for a few topics that would make a nice addition to your collection. | | |  | 3 Days to a Pharmaceutical Sales Job Interview Nov 1, 2009 |
| 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. | | | Write your own review about 3 Days To a Pharmaceutical Sales Job Interview, 2008, 5th Edition
