Business plans for medical sales:  This was a multi-part workshop on how showing up at your interview with a 30-day business plan, a 60-day business plan, and a 90-day business plan would put you way ahead of […]

Thank you Liz! Love this article….Check out - Liz Handlin’s Ultimate Resumes Blog
One of my favorite quotes is “No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined. “ by Harry Emerson Fosdick. In fact when I was applying to graduate school and, later, when I was getting my MBA I kept […]

I came across a great article that will help you with your demeanor and attitude when you interview for a clinical diagnostics or research laboratory sales job, a pharmaceutical sales job, or a medical device sales job.  It’s called Interviews Are A Great Place to Network, by Liz Handlin.  She says that if you go into […]

Just a quick note to let you know that if your email address is a comcast address, you may be missing important emails.

If the pharmaceutical sales or clinical diagnostics sales candidate doesn’t keep that warm fuzzy feeling […]
