    Seems pretty random for a first post. Strangely enough the pharmaceutical company I work for just laid most of the sales team off !

    I suspect another new poster will be along in a minute to guide us to a website he just found with vacancies in pharmaceutical sales....

    Seems to be no shortage of pharmaceutical salesmen on my local sink estate.

    At the moment it is the credit crunch. Just ignore LinasPilibaitisisbatman - some people just have to compensate for their inadequacies.

    Also you have to have an awful lot of experience to get into this industry. Your CV also has to look quite safe on the outside - no shady salespeople companies. Though once you're in the game, it's a whole different playing field!
