An invaluable Insight

Review of InsightBy Anne ClaytonWhat an insight it is! This book gives an incredible insider's view of the most prestigious of sales careers - that involved with the pharmaceuticals industry. Not only do the authors provide a panoply of excellent advice suitable for anyone conducting a job search, but the book also includes an enormous amount of research and reference data to make that search easier. Specific recommendations geared to both the seasoned job hunter and the brand new college graduate, range from how to network to the best ways to prepare and submit your resume to what to wear for an interview. Every facet of the employment search is covered, including the research process, which is generally overlooked or ignored by most.If you are simply looking for a new position, Insight has a lot of information to help make that process more successful, but if you intend to be a pharmaceutical sales representative, this book is a must-read!

This book is a great resource

I bought this book to help me get an edge over people in obtaining a pharmaceutical sales job. It definitely helped me in my job search and I couldn't have done it without the book's tips and Anne Clayton's e-mail help line. If you're serious about this career, employ the tips and networking strategies she outlines, they really work! This book is not designed to give you all the answers to questions you'll be asked in interviews, but gives you great examples of what to expect and how to answer, which will prepare you for any interview. Overall, a great resource.

good investment

I bought htis book and i thouught it was great. Plus it has a moneyback guarantee if you are not happy. It is better than most of the other books. I have a feeling the negative reviews were written by people who didnt read this bool or people with an ax to grind. -- :)

BUY THIS BOOK....It Tells You EVERYTHING!!

I want to thank Pharmaceuticalsales.com and the book Insights for helping me get my job with one of the top ten pharmaceutical companies. I ordered this book in August and started taking my job search more seriously. The most fascinating thing about this book is the reality of it!! I did everything it advised me to do and within 3 months, I was offered a position! I encourage everyone to buy this book and read it over and over!! Take it seriously and do everything it tells you to do, especially preparing for the interview. The most important thing was being able to relate my current job responsibities and my success to a career in pharmaceutical sales. I would not have been able to do this if I had not read the book Insights. My 2nd interview was the most difficult and if I had not been prepared, I would have not made it to the final stages. In fact, the manager told me he didn't think I was qualified for a career in pharmaceutical sales (because I lacked the science background), and gave steps to help me plan to try in another year. I was not about to let that stop me so I took control of theinterview and made sure before I left that he would not want to wait a year for me!! The book gave me the confidence I needed to prepare for every stage of the interview process! Not only am I thankful for this opportunity, the company that offered me the job was the only company that interviewed me...now that should tell you something!!
