Too many times I see the applicants go after Big Pharma. What I mean is that they pursue the jobs with Merck, Pfizer, J & J, etc. and they ignore the medium or smaller companies such as Forest Pharmaceutical, Dey Pharma, Tap Pharmaceuticals to name a few. Do not get me wrong all these companies are great to work for and have excellent reputations as well as provide excellent products but sometimes it is easier for an entry level rep to break into the industry with a smaller to medium sized company.
