I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Daiichi Sankyo (Parsippany, NJ) in Jun 2008
Interview
The Interview process consisted of an initial contact with a recruiter. This was followed by two face to face interviews with the District Manager that would report to. I then was forwarded on to the Regional Sales Director for a final (rubber stamp) intervierw. This process was very similar to any other typical Pharma Sales process. The interview questions were all situational initially and the Regional Director was more focused on a long term vision of sales impact on the district/region/nation.
