Good Communications Skills can lead to New Drug Representative Jobs

Are you stuck in a job behind a desk that involves writing countless reports or time in front of a computer screen all day? Are you tired of being in an office environment seeing the same company faces all the time? Do you envy those who have jobs that take them outside the office meeting with different people each day?
If you have good communications skills both verbally as well as written (and would like to utilize your verbal skills more often), then a new job as a drug representative for a pharmaceutical company may just be right for you. Drug representatives promote the use of medical products of pharmaceutical companies to customers such as doctors and pharmacists.
The job is considered a high level corporate sales position that requires intensive training in science and selling techniques which drug companies provide for their sales forces. After all, drug representatives must converse about their products at the same level as the medical professionals they do business with.
There are many perks and benefits when working as a drug representative in the industry. Salaries and bonuses could amount to six figures for high achievers and there is the use of a company car. Corporate expense accounts are also available for business entertaining. There are also the travel opportunities that are paid for by the company as many sales meetings as well as medical conventions are often located at nice places.
Being a drug representative also means that there is a lot of freedom and independence with the job as fixed working shifts are not the norm. Even better is that for 95% of the time, there is no boss to look over your shoulder while on the job.
Being a drug representative also has some intangible rewards. The field involves working with medical professionals to bring them useful products that will greatly benefit their patients. Reps with pharmaceutical sales forces can be considered as part of the overall health care team since they are playing an important role in helping patients.
So if you have good communications skills and want to do something in the exciting healthcare field, consider pursuing a career as a drug representative. The field is one of the hottest careers around. Both new graduates as well as those who have been in other careers such as desk jobs have successfully entered the drug representative world.
