Pharma sales rep in top 20 jobs list
CNNmoney.com posted their list of top 20 jobs for the young and restless in America, and pharmaceutical sales rep placed number 16 with a median pay of $93,700 (bumped up considerably by the top 10%, granted) and job growth projected at 14% over the next ten years. (general sales representative placed number 19). Others think medical sales reps have great jobs…the proof is in the great numbers of people coming into the field, one of the things that makes it a competitive and demanding place to be. But as great as pharma sales is (see pharma sales Q&A), laboratory diagnostics is a better place to be. Job stability is better because you are providing a product for patients (and healthcare is not normally as affected by the economy), you get a little more respect because it is a consultative sale, and there are fewer successful clinical diagnostics and research reps so you stand out a little more (in pharma you compete with thousands of other reps whose resumes look just like yours). Why be one of the many, when you can be one of the few???

Hi, I am currently looking for a dynamic sales job where I can travel and introduce an exciting and helpful product to the public. I have been living in Arizona for five years now and I have been selling Nissan and Toyota vehicles for the last four years, unfortunate; the mortgage crisis has effected the car industry and my personal sales are down by 50%. It is time to have a career change and the chance to work in the medical field seems highly interesting! Please, contact with any opportunities you may have.
