I've been trying to break into medical sales for about 3 months and have secured an interview at a major pharmaceutical company. I did not buy or use this book to get interviews, but the section regarding the likely interview questions and the 'right' answers were very helpful. When you haven't worked in pharmaceuticals, its hard to anticipate what a hiring manager is going to ask and what they want your answers to be. I think I'm going into this interview much better prepared than I would have been otherwise, especially since she gives helpful hints on what a day in the life of a pharmaceutical rep is like. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I felt like maybe the author printed this book out on her home computer and bound it. The presentation wasn't very professional, but the content was helpful.

The main point I took away from this book, was the guerrilla tactic of stalking a pharm. rep, and begging for their help, while they are on the job! Most of the things she recommends could be applied in any industry. Her advice is very generic, and her resume help was laughable. I can't believe how much I paid for this book, a book that is akin to a kindergarten workbook in content and style.

I love this book! I just received it two days ago and it has addressed the many questions I have had as well as provided information that I know will make me a success in my job search. I am following the program faithfully. Its full of great information and is actually very fun to read.
