I have a background in hospitality and BS in nursing. I'm from Atlanta but I have lived in Orlando for about 4 years now.

While I have a BS in nursing, I did not want to only be confined to bedside care only. With medical device sales, I am able to use the knowledge from my degree and combine it with my experiences in hospitality.

Through Google.

I wanted to leave the hospitality industry and find something that would be more stable.

I enjoyed my experience, my instructors, and my classmates. I learned a great deal of information not only about the anatomy of the body, certain pathologies, and what we do to treat them, but I also got to learn about the business side of everything (resume, linked in, how to properly network, etc).

I think it is great for someone who does not have any experience. It gets you up to speed with anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology which is very helpful if you do not have a background in that. I think it definitely prepares you for the business and networking of the industry as well.

I didn't try prior to attending MSC.

While it lasted over a month, I never talked about products with anyone until my last step in which they had me do a sales call. I got my first interview (with the regional manager) from messaging on linked in. From there, they had me do 2 product breakdowns, a sales pitch on one, presentation on another, and profile surgeons in what would be my territory. Then I interviewed with my now manager (once over the phone and then face to face) and he had me continue to complete surgeon profiles (while I completed my 40 profiles in my sports med class, this is a foot and ankle company so I had to start from scratch). After that, I interviewed with the VP of sales. Finally, my manager had me complete a sales call with a local doctor.

Preparation is key in everything that you do.
