THOUGHT PROCESS: The Hiring Manager is looking for your perception of what the representative does every day. They are also looking for work ethic (working early, late) and commitment to getting the job done. The more you can parallel what you are currently doing to the pharmaceutical representative's day, the better off you are. Show them you have done research and have spoken with someone in the industry.
*Note: If you can ride with a representative do that.
This is a selling position-DO NOT SAY THIS IS A PUBLIC RELATIONS POSITION. Do NOT answer, "Drop samples and have dialogue with physicians."
Your interview is dead with that answer
SAMPLE ANSWER: I have an idea of what the day is like for a pharmaceutical representative and I think it parallels some of what my normal day is like. As a representative I would see as many of my assigned physicians as possible and sell them on why they should use my drug over the competition. I know some physicians are difficult to reach, so I would try to catch them early (6-7AM) in the hospital or after hours, like I have to do with some of my customers. Some days I would utilize a lunch to better impact difficult to see physicians. After 5:00 PM I would enter my calls in the computer (or after each call) and pick up e-mails. At night I would look over pre-call planning for my next day. I don't know if you entertain physicians like I do with my customers currently but I would do some entertaining at night (restaurant) or on the weekends, (golf, hunting, fishing)-whatever it takes to beat my numbers.

The number one issue I face on a daily basis is the increasing problem of "no-see" clinics and doctors. It can be difficult to penetrate many of these offices, so creativity is essential. Also, developing relationships with the gatekeepers (front office staff) is essential for gaining "face-time" with the physicians.

(A question aimed at testing your sense of enthusiasm) Customer Service Representative job is chanllenging and streessful work because you deal with the customer directly. You need patience. In my previuos job I faced difficulty with customer critised me for the product. I tried to conviced the policy and about the product with polietly altimatly he agreed with my thought.
I was woking with non- profit organization at that time i phoned for fundrising. Really, I never forget that day gentleman told me that your voice is very soft and he impressed with my presentation. That was my one of the best experince at Call Centre

An objective person can compartmentalize their feelings, and has to in order to be objective. They cannot let their feelings get in the way of their thought processes. They rely on data and facts, not emotion when considering things. Depending on what the "question" is, they may consider the emotions of themselves and others as "factors" but do not allow them to control their thinking.
If a person is getting all emotional, if they're making fast defensive statements, they're not being objective. They may be "rational" but that is not the same thing as objective.
One of the Merriam Webster definitions of objective is: "expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations"
My Answer: No. I find that objective people, are usually,very difficult to have a sensible discussion with.
Most things in life are subjective and anybody who isn't aware of this, is probably, very young, or very limited in their perception and experience, of life.
