chances for average looking female rep


Do you have to look like a model to work in ortho sales? I am intelligent, personable and hardworking but I am only average looking. I have no qualms about being able to do the job but I am worried I won't get past the interview process because of my looks. Am I wasting my time? Do average looking females sales reps exist?


If you don't have a high level of self confidence, then don't waste your time in ortho sales.
As for looks, it's ability that matters. Looks might get you in the door a bit easier with new relationships, but after a few meetings, the surgeons want a performer, not eye candy. You'll get along better with the OR staff if they perceive you as a professional rather than someone trying to get by on their appearance.
