Question 24 of 40

Throughout your career, what accomplishment have you been the most proud of and why?

"Reflecting over the course of my career, I'd have to say that leading the charge of finding and implementing a new CRM with my current company was my biggest accomplishment. The reason why I'd have to say this is because of the time, effort, and teamwork that went into it. I'm proud to say that I took the idea to completion and it took initial research on the cost savings and increased sales that could come from implementing a new and innovative CRM. From there, I worked tirelessly on the RFP process and created a team to demo different systems. Once we selected a new system, I was charged with being the lead in training and implementation. Looking back today, our goals of a more streamlined process, better data analysis, and automation of a lot of tasks were all exceeded."

      How to Answer

      Prior to your pharmaceutical sales interview, put some thought into the course of your career and really think about which moment you consider to be your proudest. While there are likely many things you can point to, try to think from the perspective of the work you'll be doing in this job. Working collaboratively to solve problems, achieving a lofty goal, and going the extra mile to ensure a big sale happens are important in pharma sales, so discussing a time you achieved something similar will go a long way with your interviewer and make you a memorable candidate following your interview.

      "I am most proud of the impact that I have had on students. Being in the field of education requires a lot of different roles to play. One has to be a mentor, among other things. We play the role of teacher, parent, and role model. I have given students food, lunch money, and even household items for those who had to leave their homes. My students told me that they have enjoyed my class, not only because they learned something about literature, but they learned something about life. They have told me that they felt safe and cared for in my classroom. Many students still remain in contact and often take the time to express their appreciation for the role that I played in their lives. There is no better feeling."
