Expansion?

thanks for the spell check, "science guru". The fact is this product will never get approved so don't quit your day job. It will be scheduled and have abuse potential so good luck selling that to Psych's. No samples, branded, premium priced drug will never see the light of day. "True That"

I was asked a similar question but it was more like " have you assisted customers to navigate the PA, step edit process". Obviously this is part of our jobs and if you didn't answer yes, then too bad for you.

Once can educate customers about managed care and help them with the obstacles involved without doing non-compliant selling.

That was a compliance question. We dont assist the patient. That is a hippa violation. I said that I dont have involvement with the patient filling out the prior auths for them. That was how my ques was asked.

You are way off base. You should do your homework on the med. Read the data it’s out there and for the FDA to reverse it’s previous decision says a lot about this drugs potential. A reversal is almost unheard of. So if you have to sell or you think you can only see someone if you have samples you are best staying in primary care. As far as branded and premium price ask anyone who suffers from or anyone who has a family member suffering from refractory depression or treats refractory depression and they will tell you it’s worth it for the patient having their life back.

Maybe it was the manner in which your recruiter asked the question. I got the same question and it was not a compliance question. It was about assisting the office with PA’s. Or at least that was how the question was presented with me.

Does anyone recall the STAR based questions that were asked?

I cant remember exactly the question but it included preparing for your day like precall planning, analyzing physician writing habits, market analysis, managed care analysis. A question built around what you do in your day.

Tell me a time that you had a challenging situation that resulted in a positive outcome.

I hope this helps!

Tell me about a time when you had to take a dump in an office and didn’t have any toilet paper?

wrong again, Stephen Hawking. Efficacy data is poor, that's why it was voted down in the beginning. Yes samples are important, especially with Psych's but not a killer, what is a huge problem is being a schedule II especially in this environment. If it does get approved (50/50 at best) good luck getting anyone to write it. They have other choices for refractory patients (ECT), Psych dept at teaching university in my city has study looking at Ketamine. Guess we will see soon enough what happens and who is right.

Buprenorphine is a Schedule 3 not 2

when we get depressed patients addicted to this drug we can tell doc no worries I will have the Vivitrol rep call on you. Why waste millions of $ on this POS?

Exactly. More trouble than it’s worth.

They wanted to know what your salary expectations were, but did state 45k. Bonus plan.
Recruiter told me you get a choice of company car or allowance.
Territory maps weren't available yet
A few star questions asked. Nothing major. They wanted precise rankings throughout the years and a few KOL names.
It's for both 5461 and Aristada. FDA approval Hope's on jan 31. With mid February 2019 start date.
Next stage phone interviews in early oct. Face-face ongoing through November and Dec.

This ^

I'll add that even though they wouldn't give me numbers for the base, they said that at $120K (which I'm making now) was well within the range given that you have the experience in this space and the relationships to be able to hit the ground running on day 1.

Also, $45K bonus at plan (not a sign on bonus ), + stock options, 401K 100% match up to 5%, 3 weeks PTO plus a week shut down during Christmas-New Years.

I am very familiar with this company. You have to KNOW SOMEONE to get in.

Correct! I have 15 years experience selling in Pharma, have a psych background (and currently employed as a Therapist at a local psych hospital - my side gig) and know many of my local psychiatrists, have a solid track record and professional reputation, have P-clubs wins, etc. There should be no reason why I could not at least get an interview. But, no, after applying for a position that appeared to be perfectly aligned with my background, I was not responded to - did not even get a phone screen. WTF?

I agree - my background is a perfect match - Psychiatry/Addiction experience, sales awards and launch experience. WTF? This company must be a toxic culture.
