Many parents and students find that after shelling out tens of thousands of dollars and four years of their time that the college experience has done a fine job of delivering a basic education but little to prepare the student for their first and most important challenge after graduation: how to acquire an entry level job that will propel them to career success. This lack of preparation is exacerbated by the fact that the student often has little practical experience or work background to offer the prospective employer.
One large pharmaceutical company reported that it hires one candidate for every 14,000 applicants. This statistic is magnified by the fact that the new college graduate is often competing against experienced candidates due to recent layoffs in the industry. Cracking into the industry is more difficult than ever for the new college graduate.
This problem can however, be overcome with the proper preparation and coaching. There are a variety of organizations that will help you to write a resume or help you prepare for interviewing. However, none of those organizations are coaching specifically for pharmaceutical or medical sales careers.
This is where PharmaSalesCoach can assist in helping you to leverage your college experience into immediately marketable skills that can be sold to a medical sales hiring manager. We have designed a program that will systematically prepare the candidate for a career in medical sales such that, upon graduation, you will have experience and background that are immediately marketable to the industry—as well as the skills to sell that background to a hiring manager.
This program is based on my own experiences over a 24 year career and hundreds of interviews in the medical sales arena. While no one can provide you with a 100% guarantee of success, my observation over my career is that individuals who come to the interview having executed the tasks set forth in this program will have maximized their probability of success.
We are offer a service that is desperately needed in the marketplace. Parents shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a college education for their kids only to learn at the end of the road that the college experience has not prepared that student adequately for the first and most significant hurdle that they will face: securing their first career position.
This service will provide them with training from “real world” pros with “real world experience” as hiring managers in the pharmaceutical/medical sales arena. With the help of PharmaSalesCoach, the student will learn of how to market themselves and secure a position in the medical sales arena. But of perhaps more value, the student will acquire a lifetime skill. And in the long term, this may be the biggest “value-add” that this service provides.
All the best,
Don Larson
