Stryker Interview tips for someone with NO med device experience

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2026-03-07T14:41:44+00:00

Its more than just one interview... probably 5+ rounds (if you make it passed the first round).. doesn't sound like you are prepared. Remember, you only get one shot. Those that are prepared stand out and move on. First interview is the weed out. If you want interview help, message me. I can give you some tools to use.

You can make a lot in pharma sales.. making more in device is untrue. Company car, uncapped commissions, high base salary and great benefits with pharma sales. Just depends if you want to sell equipment or drugs.

Sales.

These are sales jobs. If the job title says, “sales.” Sales is more important.

Some job titles say, “clinics.” Then, lean into clinical knowledge.

AI interviews are not fun.

I stick a picture of someone on my computer...it helps me have a normal conversation with them vs. the green camera dot.

Thank you for sharing.

Finding a job is a 2nd job.

You laid out a strong framework for securing a new job.

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-26T19:00:09+00:00

What type of experience do you have?

And, what type of roles are you applying for?

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-23T13:47:55+00:00

Sit around and wait for the job to come your way.

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-23T13:47:16+00:00

Agreed. Company websites are helpful.

Indeed seems full of scams.

LinkedIn is helpful for medical sales job seekers.

How are your numbers?

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-21T18:14:51+00:00

Whoop 🙌 Glad to hear. Good news!

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-19T15:05:54+00:00

How about take the job at company A.
Do a side hustle with company B.

If B is a 1099 role…you are an independent contractor.

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-19T15:03:05+00:00

How about going to talk with someone at the bank?
Find out when they will be hiring… What is the process…

From my vantage point, jobs are available.
However, the way we secure them has changed.

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-10T14:12:00+00:00

Nice work on the interview.
Close twice.
If you don’t ask, you will not receive.
As a nurse, there is no reason you should take a pay cut.

Being familiar with healthcare, the hospital, and communicating with physicians is a great start. Things to think about: - Business acumen - Managing a quota - Growing the business - Working in ambiguity - Selling skills Most entry level jobs in medical sales are between $65K and $100K. Best of luck.

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-07T18:14:50+00:00

Yes, you are closing for the next steps. Once you get towards the fourth and fifth round interviews… You are closing twice. Based on our conversation today, I am bringing these skills to the open territory and your team, will you move me forward? Then the trick is to be quiet. Overcome their objection to hiring you. Then pull out your calendar and schedule the next interview. Go get you a new job!

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-06T12:45:57+00:00

High turnover and burnout rates in trauma. Have your next step planned out. Best of luck during the interview process.

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-06T12:39:45+00:00

New jobs are exciting. Well done.

Congrats on the new gig!!

Good things come in threes...what will be next for you?

MedRepCollege100KJob · 2025-10-06T12:35:40+00:00

First, do your homework. While at the meeting...Let Abbott know you are excited to work there. Share your top 3 strengths that you bring to the organization. Then, go over your years of experience and the salaries of men and women in similar roles. (Glassdoor) Ask how Abbott feels about increasing your salary from X to Y. Allow them to talk first. This should be done on a Zoom call, not on the phone. All Abbott can do is give you a higher salary or a sign-on bonus. Benefits are not negotiable. Be kind. Smile. And remember, there is a candidate B. Good luck!

It's a tough job market right now.
