ALLERGAN WILL NOT EVEN INTERVIEW OLDER REPS

The Hospital Division has older reps. Get a job with them.

 

I got some Botox in my forehead and Juviderm'd my lips before the interview. 57 years old
and I look like Freddie Mercury but hey...I got the job!

 

MANAGE YOUR MONEY BETTER IF YOU ARE OLD AND STILL HAVE TO WORK A PHARMA JOB

YER STUPID

 

yep. Docs just love Ken and Barbie airheads.

 

Is Jake Beil still around?

A true Ebola DM.

 

Over 45 you won't get a promotion either.

 

You are not sales rep, period.

Jon Deegan still around?

 

I never put my date in

 

Never mind the sexist (and ugly) green jackets for Pclub winners, an old white man Forest tradition they just can’t give up.

Nasty.

(And no comments about being a wannabe, I’ve won my share)

 

not true- the last 3 hires my dm has made have all been over 50- one male 2 female

 

green jackets...how ‘old school’, but won’t hire women over 50...lol

That’s ok, I really don’t want want to share a room with strangers

 

Have to put it in or you cannot complete the application!

 

Actually... cap’s do help (you sound overly sensory) and secondly, is it time to gather people together for a class action to sue? It’s called ageism.

 

My manager just hired an “older” rep in the Botox franchise so this is not true. She’s definitely over 50.

 

Can’t help you on this one, I was hired in the last year and am in my early 50’s.

 

I see the trend moving away from hiring younger reps. I have been in the business for 20 years and have definitely noticed the trend hiring people with experience and tenure. I worked for a large Pharma company and the average age was around 45 or a little higher. Older women, I believe, are hirable but don't go into an interview looking like a frump. Make sure you look sharp, so they focus on the most important characteristics of intelligence, passion, and strong skill set to mention a few. Be very prepared to showcase your talents in your answers. I am late 50's and just got hired for a specialty position I didn't have current experience selling in the disease state. However, I bring a lot to the table and job. I may look a little younger but still they know I'm older by my resume - and I don't have my graduation date listed. They figure it out easily. I have noticed on very few applications they ask for graduation date. Maybe it was only Allergan's that asked for this year. Most are optional.

If you bring a lot to the table, they will notice, and you will get hired even if you are 50+. Have confidence.

 

I beg to differ. I have experienced FRANK AGE DISCRIMINATION at this company.
It is blatant and against federal law.
