Tell me a little about your background.

I graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in Administrative Management.

Why were you interested in pursuing medical sales as a career?

I have always found the medical field fascinating and knew I wanted a job where I could contribute to positively impacting the lives of others.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Online.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

I researched MSC extensively and connected with previous graduates of the program on LinkedIn to talk to them about their experience with the program. Ultimately, I decided attending MSC would be a great investment in myself and my future career.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

I found the course training extremely beneficial in both clinical aspects as well as business. The professors all either work or worked in the medical device field and were well accomplished in their careers. They are extremely invested in each student's success and bring a lot of value, resources, and knowledge to the classroom. The course material was challenging but provides you with a strong foundation to begin a successful career.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

If you are committed to beginning a career in medical device sales, Medical Sales College will provide you with an excellent foundation to do so. You will learn about the industry in detail and discover things you never knew about medical device sales. MSC is a wonderful way to invest in yourself and your future.

How long did you try to get into the industry before attending MSC? What was that experience like?

I didn't try prior to attending MSC.

Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.

The job interview process was lengthy. I interviewed with several companies and discovered it can take weeks between interviews. For instance, multiple companies I interviewed with were 1-2 month interview processes. I think the most important thing you can do during the interview process is preparing for each interview individually and ensure you can demonstrate how you have been successful in your previous experiences.

What is your current job like?

I will begin my job next week but expect the first couple of months to revolve around training and educating myself on the products as well as the way the company conducts its business.
