Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips

We all know interviews for any sales positions (whether pharma, medical, laboratory or other) are stressful, but think about conducting that interview over lunch or dinner.  That presents a whole new set of problems:  ordering something so messy to eat that it makes you look less than civilized, ordering the most expensive thing on the menu is a no-no, along with ordering alcohol at lunch or more than one with dinner.  I found a great article that covers issues like this called Be prepared for dinner interview–and take a pass on the onion soup.  Sharing a meal provides potential employers another opportunity to see how you might represent their company to customers.  Sales reps are in an extremely competitive industry and need to be able to handle social interactions smoothly.
