Thoughts
on PharmaCollege from industry experts:
"The PharmaCollege seminar is comprehensive and professional. Imagine,
20 years of experience boiled down to one day of critical "need-to-know"
information about how you can start your career in the pharmaceutical
industry".
"Like an actor looking for his/her big break, "PharmaCollege" can
help you get the career break that you need. It's the best investment
you can make in yourself".
"At first you may think you cannot afford the seminar fee, but realize
it works out to about only1-2 days pay at your new job in pharmaceutical
sales".
"The resume critique "ride-along-with-a-rep" opportunity and personal
consultation alone is worth the workshop fee".
"Think of it, you've spent years and many thousands of dollars going
to university, getting educated, yet when it comes to your career,
what have you done? PharmaCollege is a bridge that will enable you
to transition from schooling to your career".
