Kristen was hired and let go a hired again in six months so she has fresh insights on the interviewing process!
Think through how to communicate about your work experience and make sure it sets you up for success. It is one thing to see your resume and all your accomplishments but it is another thing to be able to handle objections that arise from it. So practice with another person before the interview and make sure you can sell yourself from the resume.
Most interviews now will be virtual so remember all the interviewer has is your resume. So be prepared to answer the question, "tell us about yourself". Bottom line make sure you can focus on your strengths and keep it simple!
Fred shares some tips after landing his first medical sales job!
Make sure you close out the interview. No matter how good you think you are doing, you must learn to effectively close the interview. A practical suggestion is to start showing some leadership during the interview and that will help you lead it to a successful close. If you are a little nervous then keep it very simple.
One example of a simple but effective close is to ask about the next step in the process! Learn about what they want in a good candidate and ask them to consider you!
Another tactic that will set you apart is to get other reps on the phone and learn about their day to day duties.
