This book is *GOLD* --- Read this Review!---- A++++++++.......2006-11-21
I'm writing this review because the previous comment by "Chris S." is wrong. This isnt a book you should "read in one night" and it is not just general information. This book is an insider's GUIDE to pharm sales, not the insider's guide to info on pharma companies. The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. This book has EVERYTHING you need to know about getting into pharm. sales. It's the one stop book of info. that will give you exact interview questions, complete overview of the entire interview process, in depth explanations of what's expected of a pharm. sales rep, and a good overview of well, everything. It's almost like sitting with a pharm. sales rep and asking him/her questions. I was a college grad with barely any sales experience. I had a friend in pharm. sales who recommended this book, and with the help of the book and my friend, I was able to get through 6 VERY competitive interviews with a pharma powerhouse company. Again, I didn't have any professional sales experience. I bought other pharm sale books as well and returned them. Nothing compares to this book. If your looking to get into the world of pharmaceutical sales, just like the title says, then this book is for you. Don't pass it by and if you get the interview, don't for to ABC - Always Be Closing!
Best information when combined with PharmRepSelect CDs.......2005-12-06
Four stars to Jane Williams for writing a comprehensive text like book on getting a job in pharmaceutical sales. Excellent content but could have been a bit more original in both style and format. I chose this book because after reading the reviews it promised to be the most comprehensive guide available. I was not dissappointed, but in order to be the most comprehensive information, I also ordered PharmRepSelect audio book CD and Interview Insight CD along with this book. Good choice, because it provides different view points from authors with different styles and experience.I recommend information on different formats, keeps it way less boring, together this is a five star package! Thanks to Insider's Guide book and PharmRepSelect audio CDs I aced my interview and now work for a pharmaceutical company selling anti cancer drugs. Going to work is rewarding and I thank these authors for their help in getting me a career I enjoy.
This book is the bomb!!!.......2004-04-22
Okay people, I bought the book 3 months ago, and I must say it is the bomb!!! I have no sales experience, but this book guided me step by step. It even gives you various scenarios with various answers. It is outstanding for a newcomer to the industry. Take heed and get the book!! I wanted the newest edition, but it hadn't come out yet and I was desperate to begin my research. I had 2 interviews with the same company--I was referred by my pharmaceutical sales rep friend--and I believe they went well. I am waiting to proceed to the next step, which is with the district manager. Needless to say, I was overly prepared. The binder the book suggests you put together totally "WOWED" the interviewer. 2 words...THE BOMB!
New Pharmaceutical Sales Representative!.......2004-02-24
What a superior career guide! After looking at several books, I found Ms. Williams' Insider's Guide... and used it to prepare for a pharmaceutical sales career. Three weeks after buying the guide, I have a job with Pfizer!! There is no way that I could have prepared for those FIVE interviews without the Insider's Guide... I wasn't surprised by a single interview question. This book is the best investment I've ever made. I can't recommend it enough to anyone who wants a career in pharmaceutical sales.
Absolutely fantastic!.......2004-02-24
As a professional sales consultant, I am always looking for books that I can utilize as a consultant. The new 7th Edition of the "Insider's Guide..." is absolutely fantastic! This book offers excellent advice on networking, the pharmaceutical industry and the new physician call guidelines for pharmaceutical sales representatives, understanding the interview process, using personality profiling to your advantage, 150 specific detailed pharmaceutical sales interview questions and answers as well as major pharmaceutical company profiles and contract sales organizations contact information.
The book is very well written, professionally edited, and reflects the author's credibility. It is easy to see why this book is being utilized by college and university sales and marketing professors for their sales and marketing courses and special sales classes.

Customer Reviews:
Waste of paper and money.......2002-10-03
The book has the appearance of a free pamphlet, and has a font size of approximately 18, with ten to twenty unorganized resume samples, most of which have errors which are pointed out on the following page.
There are no guidelines and there is no format. I still don't know what to call a moonlighting position on a resume. What a waste.
Book Description
Even within the nursing field, there are a variety of positions, and this book shows samples of resumes and cover letters that worked for real people. This title will be a valuable resource to nursing professionals who seek clinical nursing or administrative positions. Newly minted nurses and newcomers to the field will learn how to show off their clinical rotations to best advantage. Nurses often change fields, too, and the book includes resumes of nurses who have successfully transitioned into pharmaceutical sales and other areas. A "bonus" of the this book is that it includes samples of paperwork involved in obtaining federal government jobs: there are specialized resumes as well as the "resumix" and KSAs often required for federal positions. This book will show nursing professionals how to maximize their career potential, get federal nursing positions, and change fields if they want to!

Helpful Examples, Good Tips!.......2007-08-30
I first purchased this book when I was preparing to graduate from nursing school and was looking for my first R.N. job. I found the book to be well organized and had helpful tips in the front section. The tips are fairly basic, no revelations, but as a novice they helped me to focus my ideas and helped me out a few times when I was having writers block. It also helped me from letting my resume get to cluttered. The best thing about the book however is the examples. All the resumes in the book look professional and like a would expect a polished professional resume to look like. There were examples for specific areas and I relied quite a bit on the resumes that were examples for new graduates and for intensive care units. I likes this book much more thanResumes for Nursing Careers Which I didn't end up using much at all. I really appreciated that this book focused just on nursing, it helped me with the specifics of my resume. I am buying my second copy now as I prepare for grad school because I gave the previous copy to someone else. I recommend this!
Great range of resume examples.......2005-07-08
I got this book from the library to help me write a resume for my new nursing career. I had plenty of experience not relevant to nursing and was having a hard time changing my resume to fit my new career. This book was oh-so-helpful as it had examples of resumes for new grads as well as career changers. Additionally, it gives examples for a variety of positions from clinical assistant to LPN to nurse anesthetist. It even gives an example of a cirriculum vitae (another form of resume.)
What you won't find in this book is how to write a resume. If you plan on using this book, you may also want to get a good book that gives the how-tos. By this I mean a book that gives the dos/don'ts, useful action verbs, how to target your resume, etc.
Overall, this book was most helpful and is worth investing in. You can use it from graduation through the course of your career.
The best friend a nurse ever had!.......2003-11-19
When I got out of nursing school, I had clinical rotations and quite a lot of prior work experience unrelated to nursing. I had no clue about how to show that information on a resume. I actually heard about this book through an instructor at my school, and then I found it on Amazon. It is loaded with sample resumes for "beginners" like me, and every resume is shown with the cover letter that the job hunter used. This is the best how-to book resume preparation book for nursing professionals. The best part is that I can use it throughout my career because it contains lots of resumes and cover letters of experienced nursing professionals -- which I hope to be one day!

Customer Reviews:
This book by Rich Kithil CEO of the National Lightning Safety Institute is the most informative book I've ever owned........2006-11-30
This very comprehensive book demonstrates the many mechanisms by which lightning is created, as well as, its behavior. More importantly, it also teaches us how to mitigate the lightning hazard to ourselves and our investments. The author says this more eloquently in his book with the massive collection of information acquired from the Scientific Community, National Defense, Engineering Communities "world wide" and much more.
Mr. Kithil, dedicated to Lightning Safety Awareness is not selling equipment or services; he references only indisputable techniques that are supported by impartial knowledge and logical study.
Being a lightning victim and also a lightning safety consultant, I recognize the dedication and labor intensive effort that has taken place to write this book. It is never more than an arm's reach away from my workstation and I reference it almost daily.
Information found in this book is way beyond information found in NFPA-780, UL96A or IEEE 1100. Lightning safety should be everyone's concern in today's world of electronics and this up-to-date technical information on lightning hazard mitigation is an essential tool.
The latest technical information on lightning and protection.......2006-11-16
Rich has done a very good job of explaining the cutting edge of technology as relates to protection from lightning. this book not only covers the codes and standards, it contains references to standards world-wide, and examples of practical methods for protecting facilities and people from lightning. Anyone who designs or maintains lightning protection systems would do well to study this book. Those who supervise personnel who work in areas with exposure to lightning would find this book useful for understanding how to mitigate the lightning hazard for those personnel. The subject matter is applicable to high value facilities, explosive or flammible facilities, personnel, communications, data processing, and even personal homes. An interesting, well written reference.
Great guide from unbiased source.......2005-11-05
This is a 8-1/2x11, double-sided, comb-bound "book" that one would expect to accompany a seminar. However, it is an EXCELLENT summary of practical lighting protection -- slides, drawings, discussion and references. The authors are not selling equipment or services; they refer to genuine engineering methods that are supported by unbiased experience and methodical study.
The price is steep for something that does not have the polish and book publishing overhead -- thus the 4/5 stars. On the otherhand, one should pay for expertise!

Book Description
Lightning Physics and Lightning Protection presents a comprehensive and up-to-date review of lightning, including its hazards and protection techniques. The authors first discuss the effectiveness of conventional protective measures, supply technical advice and practical recommendations, and explore the prospects for the preventive control of a lightning leader, followed by a discussion of the initiation of a leader and return stroke and subsequent components. After including measurements useful for understanding lightning and its effects, the book describes the mechanism of lightning discharge processes. It then examines the effects of large aircraft, high-voltage lines, and other high-altitude constructions on lightning trajectory and leader attraction. The book concludes by studying the action of lightning's electrical and magnetic fields and the lightning current on industrial premises, power transmission lines, underground communications, aircraft and their electrical circuits, and the induction of a dangerous overvoltage. A clear, straightforward, and systematic presentation of complicated material, Lightning Physics and Lightning Protection provides deep insight into the physics of lightning, simple analytical estimates, and a detailed illustration of effects by computer simulation, making this resource essential for those who investigate lightning phenomena and who have to solve practical protection problems.

The title was taken from the famous book edited by R. Golde "Lightning": part 1 "Lightning physics", part 2 "Lightning protection". I expect this book will be also so important work in the field.
