FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT EXPRESS ANY INTEREST IN OTHER DIVISIONS IF YOU WANT TO WORK IN THE TRAUMA DIVISION. Any hesitation and you're CUT. I made it all the way up to the informational interviews and was then told that they chose to go a different direction. Asked for feedback but of course, didn't receive any. The first interview consisted of a phone screening by one of the recruiters, I applied online and was reached out to pretty quickly via email. The interviewer was amazing and very comfortable to speak with. I was then moved on to an interview with 2 Trauma Sales Managers where they asked me some pretty tough questions, they both basically told me to run the other way. I wasn't sure if I woo'ed them enough to move onto the next round but the next day, I received an email saying they wanted to move me to the next round which were informational interviews. At this point, I was gung ho about Trauma and wasn't interested in other divisions but I was definitely very skeptical. I was partnered with 2 Trauma Reps, again, I was told to run the other way. One of the reps I spoke to told me that cold calling is pretty intense with surgeons so be prepared to walk up to someone randomly and strike up a conversation that just gets your name out there. You're also 100% commission, there is no base salary so considering the hours you work, you should actually be paid more than $150k/year lol. The last rep I spoke to told me to speak to someone in the Joints division to see if I was more interested in that division because she did that when she had first interviewed. I emailed the 2 Trauma Sales Managers and asked if I was able to speak to someone in joints because I wanted to make a confident decision about Trauma and the next day I was sent the email that they chose to move in another direction. Tip: Make sure your answers are clear and concise, don't be long winded because they WILL interrupt you and go into the next question.

You are looking at 2 months of time and 5 interviews. It is difficult but worth it. Be confident, and prepared on the products for the last interview. You might have to give a presentation.
