[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you break into pharma sales?  My kid is also interested.  They are personable and good looking - I know that helps.[/quote]

Easiest way is to apply to be an intern junior year. All the big companies have sales internships that can turn into full time roles.[/quote]
thanks!  Also interested in the medical equipment sales.   I would think it helps to have a chem/bio background for pharma sales. No?[/quote]

They like to hire those that are RN's or have worked in the medical industry.[/quote]

More and more, the trend is toward hiring those who have worked in the field as the end user. There's less and less people who are just personable and pretty with random degrees selling niche products like medical devices or legal software. You see more ex-medical professionals  selling devices and you see more and more jobs for legal tech that require a JD, for example. The consumer is getting smarter and every market has more and more competitors. Nothing's a monopoly anymore where people think "well, I have to buy this anyway because it's a monopoly so let me deal with someone fun." [/quote]
