The worlds of sales and marketing are well known for being extremely competitive; medical sales are particularly notorious, no doubt due to the highly lucrative nature of the positions.

Medical sales interview questions normally fall into one of three categories; hypothetical (How would you handle this difficult situation..?), evidence-based (Give an example of when you have exhibited the following skills) or practical (Are you willing to relocate ?).

Advance Recruitment has put together a list of some of the most common medical sales job interview questions:

If you know about your weaknesses this can be an opportunity to show humility to the interviewer - highlight any flaws if you are aware of them; it shows what you need to work on to become a better employee. Be careful not to dwell to much on the negatives though.
