Comments on: Ride-alongs and ride-withs (aka Job Shadowing) http://www.phcconsulting.com/WordPress/2009/08/26/ride-alongs-and-ride-withs-aka-job-shadowing/ I match sales and marketing professionals with world class laboratory companies. I make the connection between business and science. Here you can see how a recruiter works, how this industry runs, and where you fit in (and have others see that fit).

When a candidate rides with a sales rep, he/she must treat that experience just like an interview. He/she must be "on" at all times. The tendency for a candidate is to relax, and let his guard down during a day spent with "one of his own", a fellow sales rep. Unfortunately, that sales rep is looking for red flags which may emerge during that ride-along, and will surely be reporting back to his sales manager.
