"If given the opportunity to join your team as your next pharmaceutical sales rep, onboarding and training quickly will be at the top of my priority list because I will be so anxious and excited to get out on my own and selling. To do this, I would be very methodical in my approach. During initial orientation, I would take notes of everything that I learn and recap each evening by putting together my own personal work bible. If I get the opportunity to shadow any new colleagues, I would be like a sponge when working with them and take diligent mental and physical notes."

In a new role in pharmaceutical sales, the expectation is that any new rep joins and orientates quickly so they can jump in and get started quickly. Talk about your ability to do this in regard to how you will learn and retain information by keeping yourself organized and on track. This is a great time to talk about how you keep your work organized in your current role. No matter if you use old-school methods like binders, folders, and clipboards or if you use online tools, your interviewer just wants to hear that you have a method to your madness and that it will be effective as you join their company.
