Interview Project For my shadow day interview I interviewed my father Jeff Stotlar. He works for a healthcare company called Merck. Merck sells pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and animal health products. Merck has been operating for over 125 years developing treatments for people as well as animals. My father’s title is “pharmacy customer representative”. He works in their vaccine division, trying to convince pharmacists to use his product more frequently. He has been working for Merck for 29 years.

I understood that he worked in pharmaceutical sales, but I never asked …show more content…
His answer was very interesting, he said the one thing that everyone looked for was a very outgoing personality. He said, sales are very people oriented, and if he didn’t get a strong handshake or strong eye contact it diminished that interviewee’s chances substantially. This went right along with what I learned in class. They truly look for a great personality, my dad said its very personality driven. He said if I wouldn’t want to hang out with this person after the interview than he wasn’t outgoing enough. Along with being outgoing he said that you need to have the ability to adapt and learn quickly. I also asked him what advice he would give to recent graduates looking for a career in sales he said this. You must get your foot in the door, and work as hard as you can. He said that most people hired at his company came from high stress, high turnover sales jobs. He quoted one of his friends saying, “if you can sell a copier you can sell vaccines.” He said that employers look for experience in those kinds of sales field, because they show hard work and dedication. He also gave advice on students wanting to get into the pharmaceutical sales field. He said, you need to be able to understand the science of vaccinations, and can navigate the ecosystem surrounding pharmaceuticals. He also gave insider information on what parts of pharmaceutical sales are growing, and the benefits of working for

From watching the documentary and listening to Brad Brigg discussion on Vaccination in Arkansas, as a future pharmacist, I have a role in playing in my community. I can recommend vaccinations to patients who come to my pharmacist who are either immunocompromised or might have people living with them who are. Also, getting more educated about vaccinations will make me more equipped to create awarenessness about the importance of vaccinations and be able to answer any questions my patients might have so they would be able to make informed decisions about vaccinations to protect themselves and the members of their families. I learnt that other health care professionals also have a r...

Many thought he was just putting in extra hours of learning, but in reality he was using his skills to his advantage and using these skills for profit and to swindle banks. This is the start of many instances where he would use horrific deeds for his own personal gain. In 1886, not long after he graduated medical school, he moved to Chicago, Illinois. He went under the alias,
Introduction Since my major, Applied Economics is in the business field, I am required to take a lot of business classes. Last spring, I took a class called Food and Agricultural Sales; in that class, we learned about the entire sales process. The class started out very informative, and dry until the professor began bringing guest speakers who are professionals in the sales field. Once, the professionals began speaking to our class, from that moment, I knew I was hooked into the world of sales. When I found out that we had to interview someone who works in the field that we intend to go into, I was excited.

Throughout the course of my life, I have always strived to be the best at whatever it is I do. I utilize my inner drive, motivation, and attention to detail to help propel me to success.

All of these qualities have really helped me with pursuing being a buyer. I also am a sales associate at Michael Kors.

It will help me with figuring out what the people want and what they are looking for.
Interview a Manager Rose Laketa is the manager of Country Rose Bakery & Cafe. I chose to interview Rose because she manages a small, local business.

On Wednesday, June 13, 2018, I had the opportunity to discuss with Ms. Lori Laing, LMFT about her practices when treating clients in crisis. Ms. Laing conversation was very informal and sincere. She expressed that all her clients are individuals that are in a crisis either domestic violence, intimate partner violence or sexual violence. The points she described challenging aspects when working with clients in crisis were to help clients to identify and utilize resources and strengths since it can be a shift in their pattern and that can be difficult. Besides, she manages those challenges with consistency, encouragement, working through boundaries and challenges (Laing, 2018).
On the interview day I had with Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM), I had the pleasure of speaking with a student who received a dual degree in MD and MA in Urban Bioethics. I saw the brochure and thought it was very interesting, and he was able to expound about his opinion of the program and elaborating on his project involving the local community. I was interested in the program from the information but was not able to commit to applying due to the unknown workload of the school curriculum. As time, went on I was fortunate to attend the PREP program where I heard more about the degree from Nora Jones, and was able to speak to a current M2 about his experience. I shared my perspective with him and was told I would fit
