5. You must know someone (or at least know someone who does)

It's not exactly true but it's a whole lot easier if you do. I'm not going to let you off there though. There's good news. You do know someone! Legendary networker Harvey Mackay said it best, "Networking is not a numbers game. The idea is not to see how many people you can meet; the idea is to compile a list of people you can count on." Spend some time working with the list of people you know you can count on. Pay attention to the objections they have and ask them to help you think about how you can meet someone who can, and will, help you get where you want to be.

As with most things in life, the search for a job as a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative is 99% attitude. Keep working. Keep improving. Keep moving forward and you will get hired!
