Pharmaceutical Companies are Booming! CNPR's Needed.

WASHINGTON - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Bioprocessing involves turning living cells to yield products that include biological medicines (biologics). It is the fastest growing sector of the pharmaceutical industry, accounting for 10 per cent of total pharmaceutical sales and over one third of drugs in development.

Paper qualifications will get you an interview, but evidence of practical capability through college studies and projects, formal pharmaceutical sales training, undergraduate shadowing/internships, or previous employment may carry more weight. Like any professional career, you really have to learn your trade and do your time on the bench.

Pharmaceutical sales can be extremely lucrative as well as financially rewarding and the pharmaceutical industry is growing rapidly as new drugs are being brought to market. Drug sales are expected to rise 6% annually through 2016 because of the aging baby boomers, increased access to drugs through Medicare Part D program and the rising use of biotech and other products. The NAPRx® administers the CNPR® Certification for the pharmaceutical industry which educates individuals and qualifies candidates who are seeking a career in pharmaceutical sales.

Applicants who have no previous pharmaceutical sales experience but who have acquired industry sales training, pharmaceutical product knowledge, managed care guidelines plus selling regulations will always be more qualified versus others without it. A person does not need to be Einstein to learn algebra or be Tiger Woods to teach golf; similarly you do not need to be a pharmacist to effectively sell pharmaceuticals but it is necessary to have some basic understanding of pharmacology and medical terminology to effectively detail physicians.

If you are seeking a career in pharmaceutical sales it is important to obtain accredited pharmaceutical sales training (CNPR® Certification Program). You can find several books out there will help with your resume and cover letter but will not provide you with the necessary job skill sets that pharmaceutical employers prefer. The CNPR® Certification program provides candidates with the skills sets that attract pharmaceutical employers and comprehensive industry training which will enhance anyone's pharmaceutical sales career. To effectively detail physicians you need to understand the fundamentals of pharmacology as well as some understanding of the medical industry. The NAPRx® (CNPR® Certification Program) is presented in a way that is easy to comprehend while being user friendly. If you are looking to enter a new career in pharmaceutical sales make your job search become much easier by acquiring the skills sets sought after by pharmaceutical companies and obtain your CNPR® Certification as soon as possible.
