I was wondering if anyone has advice on getting in medical sales/device/pharma. I spent roughly the past 7 months networking (Linkedin) and applying to roles and I just haven't heard back or my application status still says "Application Received or In Progress". Most if not all of the managers/recruiters tell me to keep "networking" but it's been months. How do i actually get a job in this field. The most confusing part is from feedback my resume qualifies me to get in but jobs are ghosting me?

It’s very hard to get in the industry as companies keep
downsizing. You are likely competing with candidates that have a successful history. My advice would be to look at regional specialty pharmacies,, payors and distributors, dentist, vet sales. Get some experience that is closer aligned and be a rockstar.

When I was trying to find roles when I was beginning I shadowed reps in pharma & medical sales. Perhaps ask your GP if they have any pharma reps that visit them they’d put you in touch with to do this. A great book to read on Medical sales is “Be Brief. Be Bright.Be gone” by David Currier.

Showing that you have been doing this work to understand what the roles involve as you don’t have any experience will at least show potential employers work ethic.

I’m in an interesting dilemma. Very interested in leaving my company, but I am also going through IVF. I know most new jobs require a year wait before you can go on maternity leave. Does anyone know a great company to work for that does not require this? Obviously, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but if this works, I don’t want to accept a job and not be paid for maternity leave because I am doing this solo. Appreciate all the help!
