Interview attitude
January 18th, 2008 by the medical sales recruiter
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 an interview with the attitude that you are making new friends and learning things that will help you, you’ll do better. It’s very difficult to go into an interview without feeling like you’re being judged, but you have to keep in mind that you’re interviewing them, too. You’ll be more relaxed, and ultimately more successful.
Thanks for the great post and for the link to the Ultimate Resumes blog. I was checking it out and there are some good ideas there. Have a great day.

I think this is right on the money. The best interviews are ones that flow like a conversation…it puts the interviewer at ease and makes you seem like you’ll fit in well. That’s why it pays to have some questions prepared beforehand, like: “Can you tell me what you like about working here?” And, you can always ask the interviewer to describe the culture and the people…if the person seems uncomfortable (or unable) to answer such questions, maybe it’s best to see what else is out there.
