Tell me a little about your background.

I was a Biology major in college and played college softball. I wanted to be a doctor until I realized I didn't want to be in debt from medical school so I pursued medical device sales instead.

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

I was interested in medical sales because I liked the aspect of the harder you work, the more successful you will become.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Google.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

I decided to attend MSC because I knew I wouldn't get into the field on my own, and I wanted to be as prepared as possible.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

The training at MSC took a lot of hard work, but it was fun and I learned a lot more than I would have on my own.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

Someone should attend MSC because they give you the tools necessary to succeed in medical sales, and you make some lifelong friends along the way.

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.

My interview process was super easy. I met the employer for coffee and then met the team later that week and was hired two weeks after that. I didn't even get asked a single "formal" interview question which was nice.

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?

The most valuable thing I took away from MSC was to be persistent, and also to be yourself in the interview process and the industry.
