If you have been fretting overwriting cover letters for positions that have lots of experience to boast of, wait until you come across those that have nothing to brag about – like that of an entry-level pharmaceutical sales representative.
Pharmaceutical Sales Cover Letters are less challenging to write if they you have a lot to talk about.
Your experiences, skills, and accomplishments take up most of the space on a cover letter.
However, when you are applying for an entry-level Pharmaceutical Sales job, you do not have this privilege.
Fortunately, you have other things that you can offer to an employer when you are applying for a first job. Such as:
• Current knowledge of the Pharmaceutical industry
• A fresh take on work since you are a new graduate
• Buffed up skills that are particular to the job
• A deep interest in making an impression
All these are very important for an employer. While these do not replace experience, they lead an employee towards success – something that every employer wants. So you are actually at an advantage if you are applying for an entry-level position.
An entry-level pharmaceutical sales representative will need to be well-versed in two areas –pharmaceutical industry knowledge and sales acumen. If he can show a prospective employer that he can combine the two to bring about positive results (an increase in sales), he will be instantly hired. And how can he do this? By reading the following sample cover letter for this position and emulating it to write his own:
