I know several people that got verbal offers on Monday night. If your territory did not have the 2 candidates at last weeks interviews, there is another week of interviews in early October to make-up. That's when your notification can be delayed.
 




I recvd a verbal offer on Monday. I usually dont post on CP but I feel it necessary to let people know. I wish you all luck in your future endeavors. I understand how hard, and stressful, preparing/interviewing can be.

I am accepting the offer. I know it wont be an easy sell; however, being in specialty sales rarely is.
 





Spoke with 2 midwives at a practice in my area (5 midwives and 1 MD) this week. Asked them about PPD and how they process those pts. She said if the pt. exhibits signs prior to giving birth, then they may start a low-dose SSRI. Otherwise, if at the 2 week and 6 week post-delivery appt. the pt. exhibits signs of depression they will assess using the Edinburgh scale. If the patient is mild, they will treat short term. If the patient scores moderate to severe, they refer to a Psych.
I mentioned the new treatment (they both had heard something was coming) and the 60 hour infusion. The look they gave me was priceless. One asked me, "How's that gonna work"? and the other said, "That's not what we do here".

Please, before you all jump all over me with snide and condescending remarks, read the post again. This is one example. My take-away is that the label specifically says for moderate to severe ppd. At least in this instance, that makes this a Psych. condition and product. Psych's in my area will need to see extraordinary outcomes to go this route.

I'm sure Sage has market research on all this. At least I hope they do....

What hiring event did you attend?

Mine hardly spent any time on the case study and ate up all my time going over scenarios & the essay type questions from the pre work. Didn’t ask much about the account, although I had lots of info on the written document I left behind and also key contacts etc.

If I don’t hear anything by tomorrow, I will assume I’m out. That’s at a week! You would think they would have had decisions by last Friday really!

I called the recruiter today. Left a message. Heard nothing back.

I totally empathize with you on this! I feel like they had already decided on the candidate who would get the offer, and I was just a box that had to be checked. That’s fine if they chose someone they knew from a previous company—I get that, but don’t waste my time and use me for my information I presented in my case study. He was more focused on that as opppsed to interviewing me—asked a ton of questions about the account and key contacts, etc.

I empathize with you. I believe they are just checking the box of having another candidate and know going into the interviews who they will select. I don't appreciate my time being wasted. I know one person has to be selected, but at least give me a fair shot.
 








anonymous said:
there is another hiring event next week. So some still not hear either way before that unless you get a courtesy update call.

I would like even a courtesy update & told the recruiter this, even just a text!

But tell me how they will create parity review when one interview is done and then two weeks later the other candidate is interviewed for the same position?

I got a rejection this morning. Half pissed, half relieved. Got a couple other things I'm working on. See how those go. Best of luck everyone.

Glad you have other options. Sage isn't the end all be all. I have a friend that had a really good chance of getting hired, but decided to not limit themselves and settle for just Sage. They accepted an offer from another company making way more money than they would have at Sage and a position that matched their experience level. Although I thought we would be in training together, I'm very inspired by them not settling for less than what they deserve.
Keep your options open everyone. Lots of other companies are hiring and launching drugs with a great pipeline.

F that. I would not have left it!!! Damn skippy theyre gonna put every single last one of those business plans to use. Goes to show hiring managers have no idea what they’re doing and instead stealing ideas n business plans!! How tacky!
Why not hand it back to the person who actually created it and pay for the rep’s efforts FIRST! They’ll prob just give it to their friends at former companies and have their friends apply for the job! Awful

if they didn't hire you then that means your plan is garbage. you clearly know nothing so stop posting as if you do.
 












business plans? amateur hour.

you don't want to work for anyone who requires business plans. Sure, Marketing and Sr. Leadership should have them, but for reps, you need to hire two things:

persuasiveness
work ethic

I've hiring reps for 38 years and that's what counts. All the rest is BS.
