      Professional Healthcare Representative Interview

      Mar 31, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Virginia Beach, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Pfizer (Virginia Beach, VA) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      I had a total of 3 interviews. My first interview was a phone screen with the District Business Manager which lasted about 25 minutes. Two weeks later, I had a face-to-face interview over lunch with the District Business Manager and one of his counterparts. My final interview was with the Regional Sales Manager the following week. I received the verbal job offer a week and a half later and the written offer 3 days after that. Be VERY well prepared throughout the entire interview process. Pharmaceutical sales is a very competitive and difficult industry to get into so there's a lot of competition. You will be asked several behavioral questions. Make sure you share testimonials about how one of their prescription drugs has helped you or a relative and/or share testimonials of how Pfizer's over the counter medications have helped you feel better (i.e. Advil, Robitussin, Emergen-C, etc). Brag books are very important to reference during your interview. They help set you apart from other candidates and show a documented track record of success.

      Professional Healthcare Representative Interview

      Aug 13, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Cincinnati, OH
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pfizer (Cincinnati, OH) in Jun 2019

      Interview

      Extremely organized and streamlined interview process. Incredibly impressed! I applied online and heard back about 2-3 weeks later. First interview was a video interview through HireVue asking a series of situational-based questions. I would recommend practicing since you only have one chance to record your answer. Second interview was a phone interview with the hiring manager. Resume walk through and a series of situational-based questions. Third interview was an in-person with the hiring manager with another series of situational-based questions. Final round interview was a phone interview with the regional manager. Resume walk through and a few situational-based questions. Ask for the job! Overall, positive experience. In total, about a 2 month process.
