I have always enjoyed problem solving, meeting new people, building relationships, and I am competitive by nature. All of these traits in combination with a passion for healthcare drove my interest in Medical sales.

I found MSC while researching medical sales positions on various websites and career websites. After seeing a large number of MSC ads I decided to reach out to a handful of MSC graduates that strongly influenced my application.

I thought the college was too good to be true based on the numbers that are advertised but after speaking with a handful of MSC graduates they all had great things to say and owed their new found careers to MSC. After hearing lots of positives and almost no complaints I decided to speak with MSC which ultimately got the ball rolling on my career path to medical sales with Organogenesis.

The Industry Specific training was exceptional, I learned a lot of behind the scenes tricks to the trade that I had not expected. The instructors were all very knowledgeable teaching the anatomy and pathology of biologics, orthopedic reconstruction and trauma. I learned the significance of the most commonly used medical advancements and how to perform joint replacement procedures from the surgeon?s shoes. I experienced constructive feedback of giving presentations and in-services as well as roll playing long and short calls. The material on instrumentation, anatomy, and physiology that I received while attending the course has remained helpful in my studies for months after my graduation date.

MSC provided me with all the knowledge and preparation in order to land my position with Organogenesis. The staff was extremely helpful before, during, and after I attended MSC at the Sarasota location. Lexis, my placement coordinator helped me pursue new opportunities on a weekly basis and ultimately sent me the contact to land my new position. MSC has created an amazing community of Medical sales representatives that all have common ground that pulls them together.

I had been searching for 6-8 months, applying to job postings and reaching out to the few people that I knew working for medical companies most of which were not in the salesforce.

My interview process was mostly remote because I applied for an out of state position. It started with a brief interview with a contracted recruiter. About 1-2 weeks later I was contacted by the regional manager for another phone screening where I also set up a time to speak with the Area manager, after speaking with the area manager I then scheduled a time for a face to face interview with him and one other regional manager. Once I had moved on from this step I had one final skype interview with the director of HR. My verbal offer came over the phone 2 days after the final interview with HR.

I wish I knew the proper way to network within the industry and just how important it really is. I thought I knew the importance of networking, but I quickly learned it is far more critical than I ever thought before. Building relationships and networking is the base to all medical sales opportunities.

Ultimately, learning how to be highly adaptive to any situation and how to best prepare before any meeting by researching the company and or products as well as understanding the direction of the company in the past, present, and future.
