Success as an MSL involves many different administrative duties that often aren't the most exciting or gratifying duties. Your interviewer wants to hear that you take them seriously and that you understand their importance in the overall process.

"In my current job, I take a lot of pride in the administrative duties when I am in my home office because they ultimately help me be prepared for my time with the physicians I am working with. When reviewing reports for relevant data I can bring to the physicians I work with, I take the time to comb the data for relevant information and work to understand everything that I'm analyzing. Knowing that keeping lines of communication open is important, I don't let email communications go unanswered for more than 24 hours."

When not in the field meeting with physicians and other key healthcare leaders, you will be handling duties like working through email communications, creating presentations, and analyzing data. As you discuss the administrative duties that you handle in your current role and talk about why they're important in your job, keep in mind what administrative duties you will be handling in this role. Before your interview, try to do as much research as possible on this role so you can speak to your ability to handle all duties required in this job to impress your interviewer.
