Tell me a little about your background.

I graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in Health Communication. Then, I found out about Medical Sales College and decided I wanted to take the leap of faith and go to Dallas, TX for the program. After the program, I fell in love with medical sales and couldn?t wait to start my career.

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

I have always wanted to be in the healthcare industry in some way. But I didn?t learn about medical sales until recently. After I heard more and more about the industry I couldn?t wait to jump into it because this is the type of career I have always been searching for.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Kendra Harms, a previous MSC graduate. And found it on google after searching medical sales.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

I wanted to gain experience and knowledge within the medical sales industry and knew this would be a great way.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

My training experience was so amazing! I learned so much from all of the instructors. I liked how they talked about real experiences throughout their career because it helped me understand what the industry is like and what to expect.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

I think it?s a great program for someone who wants to be in the medical sales industry because it gives you an understanding of what to expect and shows you how to become a confident person when talking to people you don?t know.

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

The interview process was a lengthy process. The thing I heard the most was that I didn?t have experience so that was a tough thing to hear. But, Lincare told me that they liked that I didn?t have experience so they could train me.

What is your current job like?

My job has been great so far. I have learned so much about the products and the way their business works.

What do you know now that you wish you had known before entering the industry/attending Medical Sales College?

I was told this many times but for being an impatient person, I didn?t realize that the job search and interview process would really take as long as it did. And proving to them why you would be a great fit even though you don?t have experience.

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 information I learned from MSC was doing presentations/inservices. It helped me to be able to put together a presentation in a short period of time and to practice talking in front of 20+ people.
