I was a biology and marketing major, while also being a student-athlete at Le Moyne College. I always had a strong interest in the medical field.

I have always had an interest in helping others and in this career, I am able to make an impact on the patient's lives. I also enjoy how there is no cap on the amount of money you can make; the effort you put into this job will translate to money in your pocket.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

My cousin went to Medical Sales College.

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

I had many interviews with many different jobs. I applied for a ton of jobs and had interviews multiple times each week. For the job I landed, I made a connection with a person who was an alumni from my college and he passed a rep's name along to me. Once I contacted the rep I asked him if we could meet as soon as possible, since I had another offer on the table. I met him at a Panera Bread and we had a very detailed interview. We discussed anatomy, products, and sales strategies. Three days later I landed the job.

What was the most valuable thing you learned at Medical Sales College/What piece of training do you use the most in your day-to-day activities?

Connections do not always lead to job opportunities, however, the more people you meet and connect with the more opportunities you will have. These connections are extremely important and can help you not only in the present but also in the future.
