How to Prepare for a Pharmaceutical Sales Interview

“The harder I work, the luckier I get.”

- Samuel Goldwyn

Last year, I worked with a candidate who had been searching for a Medical Sales job for 3 months.

Countless applications.

Two interviews—neither progressed past the 1st round.

He was ambitious, educated, and had solid experience.

But something wasn’t clicking.

After a mock interview session, we uncovered the issue:

↳ He was saying what he thought was important to the job.

In reality, he didn’t understand the day to day responsibilities of a Territory Manager.

Fast-forward 6 weeks:

↳ He landed two offers.

𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧. 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

People call that “good fortune.”

↳ I call it focused effort.

If you’ve been thinking:

“𝑰’𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒋𝒐𝒃 𝒇𝒐𝒓 3+ 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒔… 𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚?”

It’s probably time to reset your interview plan ⤵

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐤—it’s about taking intentional steps to create a positive outcome:

🍀 Own your outcome by preparing like it’s game day.

🍀 Influence your own success by sharing results.

🍀 Enhance your chances by practicing.

Earning a high-paying job is about aligning your skills, preparation, and sharing your unique value across 6 rounds of interviews.

When your story reflects this alignment, 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰.
