Got a phone call from HR for phone screening. I gave my reasons why I applied and just was very excited about the opportunity in all honesty however I got told by that HR person and I’ll quote the exact words “ I’m not convinced you have the passion for the pharmaceutical sales and truly understand the reason for your passion. I’ll give you some homework to do as well as research on your passion for the field and I’ll get back to you next week with an answer if you’ll progress to the first stage of the interview with the Hiring Manager or not” I never got a call and I never did any “homework” as the phone call itself was extremely disrespectful and aggressive 🤏 This is the first time in my sales career where a middle person like HR was the one determining my “passion” for the role and just my suitability in general and I was taken aback for sure by that.
