I will be graduating from the University of North Florida in early August and am looking to break into the industry. Every rep that I've talked to has said to get my degree and that's all I will need, yet a lot of recruiters are suggesting that I go to NAPRX or another "medical sales college" before they will hire me.

I currently live in Jacksonville, FL and have been applying for positions, but I dont feel like I'm getting anywhere. If anyone is looking to add a hard working individual to their sales team, please let me know. I can be reached at my email: stracy.unf(at)gmail.com
