In interviews, keep your complaints to yourself
May 16th, 2008 by the medical sales recruiter
OK, so you have your reasons for leaving. But please remember, when interviewing for a position in healthcare sales, medical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, laboratory sales, pharmaceutical sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, medical device sales, cellular products sales, molecular products sales, or biotechnology products sales, don’t whine about your old job. Don’t be negative about the things you didn’t like….position them so that they are a positive for your new job. Spin them into a positive light. And above all, don’t badmouth your previous boss. All you’re doing is giving the impression that you’ll also find something to complain about if they hire you.
Don’t whine to me, either… As a medical sales recruiter, I’m not your “friend”. I’m your first interview.
