A really great process that I would advise anyone who wants to get a head start in the industry. It really does put you at an advantage compared to the other reps and that really showed while I was in training at Misonix. It was a great experience with great people.

A great process that prepared me well for my job.
Did you have fears about attending school? What were they?
It helped me feel a lot more comfortable and taught me how to develop skills that I can bring to the OR every day.
What was the interview process like for your job?
Knowledge is power. I never want to go into anything without being fully prepared. I knew that if I had proper training before getting a job then I would be able to be a lot more comfortable when it was time to start selling. I needed to gain sales experience before entering the field.
What aspect of your training most helped you find a job after graduation?
I learned that you just have to take this business one day at a time. You really do learn something new every day and right now at my level, I am just a sponge trying to soak it all in. MSC taught me valuable skills and traits that I can bring to the OR in every case.
How did placement services help accelerate your entry into the medical device sales industry?
Placement services always answered my call when I needed help. They were super nice in all aspects and a lot of the times they were the ones that got me going when I wanted to give up. Very thankful for MSC.
What reasons would you give people to attend the Med Sales Institute?
To gain knowledge on procedures and designed specialties that you want to further your career in. To learn the right way to sell and learn product knowledge and how to properly plan out what you want to do in each case.
Did you try to get into the industry before attending the Med Sales Institute?
Not very long. I got out of college and went straight to MSC 2 weeks later because I knew I had 0 sales experience.
Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.
I heard a job was coming available in my area so I found the territory manager in Jacksonville and emailed him over and over and over again until he was annoyed enough to sit down and meet with me. Once we met everything went rather fast. One week later I had the final interview with the regional sales manager and then I accepted the offer.
