I am a 50 year old victim of pharma downsizing. 11 yrs experience. Would Forest even consider me for an interview?

Yes, especially for the hospital division...mainly older, tenured reps

Maybe, but you should read post 13 before you interview. Helped me and after 2 months, I am an ABD. Hope this helps

Yes, you have a great chance on the hospital side. a guy i know w/12 years of retail exp and is close to 50 was hired. Stay away from retail, the hiring managers are VERY unethical and unless you are under the age of 25 you don't have a chance. The hospital side is serious pharma, retail is a more like drug carrying street walkers w/pimps.

Look. I was unemployed when I took a job with Forest. I felt like I did not have a choice. Now that I have Forest on my resume and I am looking again, I regret ever working for Forest. Unless you are already living in a cardboard box and want to sell your soul to the devil, don't waste your time interviewing with Forest. The manager that interviews you will feed you the biggest line of crap that you have ever heard. They will say things like "There is HUGE potential in this territory to make HUGE bonuses. And Forest is a great place to work and you can move up fast in this company." Here is a big clue for you... Why do you think the reps move up quickly? It is not that at all! When they go to look for a manager to fill the spot, all they can find are people that have been there for about 5 years because there IS a lot of turn over at Forest.
