Hey, I am having trouble finding a good entry level outside sales job (ideally in the pharmaceutical sector) to interview for. Do you have any company-specific suggestions for a recent college grad with 5 years of inside sales experience? I have a 6-month outside sales internship and some good sales awards under my belt but my outside sales experience is nominal. I am also open to any good entry-level outside sales not related to pharma (good experience). Some of the smaller companies may be a wise choice right? I have phone screened with some of the bigger companies (Pfizer, etc) and have been in a hiring freeze or have been told I need more outside sales experience depending on the company. My current employer is offering me some outside sales experience for them after the holidays so I am either looking for some good experience or I might stick with my current company for that experience and wait for a good thing 🙂 Thanks! ---
