Is it appropriate to contact district managers in regions I am interested in for medical device positions?

Not currently selling medical devices, but strong family hospital connections and have academic medical record. Have spoken to multiple MDT employees already, but always facilitated by other connections.

Do you want this job? If you have their contact info be aggresive and don't appologies. Ask if this is a good time and then get them to commit to a better time if its not. Do not get off the phone without a commitment for your follow up.

I agree with the post above, but what is an "academic medical record"?

That is brilliant and certainly the best strategy.


Thanks for the advice. I am not used to being so aggressive, but time to adapt

Strong family connections but no experience...sounds like you'll fit right in! LOL!
