Get to know reps. They are your best chance at an inside track with a hiring manager. I personally tend to look for no Rx experience for a multitude of reasons. A good resume helps with goals defined by positions held. Go with a traditional resume- I'm seeing a lot of junk lately with education, personal attributes, and other "fluff" before an objective and employment history. Another tip- if you paid for college yourself, put that down, rather than clouding your resume with a bunch of pt time jobs and bogus internships.

Pharma Sales People are true sales people that do what they have to do because of the culture in the industry. However, and the reality is, Pharma reps. have a reputation that echos what the previous poster was articulating.
