Advice on how to break into a sales position or the pharmaceutical industry? I have 1 year of experience in account management/customer service for a Biotech company, a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Neuroscience with research experience, plus the organizational and communication skills needed to succeed as a sales rep.

Open to chat— any insight or referrals are much appreciated!

Pfizer has sales positions opened requiring one year of experience. I would be more than happy to connect with you.

You are definitely qualified, the best way to break in would be to know someone to refer you from sales organization

How and when in the interview process would you go about asking about a company's philosophy on/commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?

I'm actively interviewing with 5 companies right now, but the one that seems most likely to give me an offer is also the only one where I've so far only been interviewed by 3 white men Is there a delicate way to ask why there aren't women and BIPOC involved in the hiring decision process / whether leadership at the company is more inclusive?
